Answer: 84 m

Explanation:

To find area, you multiply the width by the length ( A = L x W). Here, it is asking for the length, giving the area of the pool and the width. With this information, you can inverse operation ( division) to find the length of the pool. So:

5628 / 67 = 84

This tells us that the length of the pool is 87 meters. To check this answer, multiply 67 and 84. If it's equivalent to 5628, the given area, then 84 is indeed the length of the pool.

67 x 84 = 5628.

Thus, the length of the pool is 84 m.
