Question

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 42m. The length is 5 meters more than the width. What is the length of the swimming pool?

Answer 1

Answer:

 Length is 13 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

  Length:  x + 5

  Width: x

  2L + 2W = Perimeter

  2(x+5) + 2x = 42

  2x + 10 + 2x = 42

  4x + 10 = 42

  4x = 32

    x = 8

Length:  8 + 5 = 13

Width: 8
