Question

(b) The area of a rectangular pool is 8075 m².If the length of the pool is 95 m, what is its width?Width of the pool: ]m

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is:

`A=wl`

where w is the width and l is the length. Plugging the values we have and solving for w:

`\begin{gathered} 8075=95w \\ w=(8075)/(95) \\ w=85 \end{gathered}`

Therefore the width is 85 meters.
