Question

A rectangular swimming pool has a width of 25 feet and an area of 1250 square feet. What is the pool's length?

(A) 50 feet
(B) 30 feet
(C) 25 feet
(D) 20 feet

Answer 1

The length of the rectangular swimming pool is 50 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangular swimming pool is found by multiplying its length and width. In this case, we are given that the width is 25 feet and the area is 1250 square feet. So, we can set up the equation as:

Length x Width = Area

Length x 25 = 1250

Length = 1250 / 25

Length = 50 feet

Therefore, the pool's length is 50 feet, which corresponds to option (A).
