the perimeter rectangular pool is 160 meterss . The length of the pool is 20 meters . what is the length ?
thanks
I apologize for the typo in your question. It seems like you already mentioned the length of the pool as 20 meters. Could you please provide the width or some additional information so that I can help you calculate the perimeter?
To find the width of the rectangular pool, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)
Given that the perimeter of the pool is 160 meters and the length is 20 meters, we can substitute these values into the formula:
160 = 2 × (20 + Width)
To find the width, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's solve the equation step by step:
160 = 2 × (20 + Width)
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
80 = 20 + Width
Next, subtract 20 from both sides of the equation:
80 - 20 = Width
60 = Width
Therefore, the width of the rectangular pool is 60 meters.
2L + 2W = 160
You or the instructor must have stated the problem incorrectly. The width W, not the length L, is 20 meters. L is what you solve for.
2L + 40 = 160
Solve for L
