Question

A rectangular pool is 168 square feet and 14 ft long. What is the perimeter of the pool

Answer 1

We are given the area of the pool and the length.

We could easily obtain the breadth. Since;

`\begin{gathered} A=l* b \\ b=(A)/(l) \end{gathered}`

Thus, the breadth is;

`\begin{gathered} b=(168)/(14) \\ b=12ft \end{gathered}`

We can now obtain the perimeter,

`\begin{gathered} P=2(l+b) \\ P=2(14+12) \\ P=2(26) \\ P=52ft \end{gathered}`

Therefore the perimeter of the pool is 52ft.
