Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Natoy's rectangular swimming pool has the length of 3m more than thrice its

width.

Width=w

Length =3w+3

So

Area of the rectangular swimming pool=length×width

216=(3w+3)×w

216=3w^2+3w

3w^2+3w-216=0

3(w^2+w-72)=0

W^2+w-72=0

W^2+(9-8)w-72=0

W^2+9w-8w-72=0

W(w+9)-8(w+9)=0

(W+9)(w-8)=0

Sotwo value of w are 8,-9

We take positive value for rectangular swimming so we take w=8m

Width=8m

Length=3×8+3

= 24+3

=27m
