Answer:
area = w(w+5) = w^2 + 5w square units

Step-by-step explanation:
The pool has a rectangular shape. Area of rectangle can be calculated by multiplying its length and width.
We are given that:
length = w + 5
width = w
Therefore:
Area of pool = length * width
= (w+5) * w
= w(w+5) = w^2 + 5w square units

Hope this helps :)
