Given that the length of the pool is 26 feet and the width is 18 feet.

The width of the walk way=c feet.

The width of the wood deck =w feet.

The wood deck is in a rectangle shape.

The length of the wood deck = the length of the pool + 2 times of the width of the walkway+ 2 times of the width of the wood deck.

The length of the wood deck l =26+2w+2c.

The width of the wood deck = the width of the pool + 2 times of the width of the walkway+2 times of the width of the wood deck.

The width of the wood deck w = 16+2w+2c.

The perimeter of the wood deck is


P=2(l+w)

Substitute l=26+2w+2c and w=16+2w+2c, we get


P=2(26+2w+2c+16+2w+2c)


P=2(42+4w+4c)


P=2*42+2*4w+2*4c


P=84+8w+8c

Hence the perimeter of the wood deck is 84+8c+8w

The fourth option is correct.
