Question

Someone please help me.

This pool has a deep end and a shallow end.The pools perimeter is 70 ft.Hiw wide is the deep end,d?​

Answer 1

Answer: 16 feet

Work Shown:

L = d+9 = length along the horizontal

W = 10 feet = width along the vertical

P = 2(L+W) = perimeter of rectangle = 70 feet

70 = 2(d+9+10)

70/2 = d+19

35 = d+19

d+19 = 35

d = 35-19

d = 16

The deep end is 16 feet wide
