Question

A pool measuring 10 meters by 26 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform​ width, as shown in the figure. If the area of the pool and the path combined is 1380 square​ meters, what is the width of the​ path?

Answer 1

112m

Explanation:

A = lw

A = 10(26)

A = 260

1380 - 260 = 1120

1120 = 10(w)

1120 / 10 = 112
