What is the length of a swimming pool in meters

Luis saw a rectangular swimming pool that has a perimeter of 50m and a width of

10m. What is the length, in meters, of the swimming pool?

Answered by admin @



Answer:

15 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

Total perimeter: 50m

Width: 10m

Since we have the width, we know that two sides of the pool are 10 meters long.

10m+10m=20m

Thus, the two smaller edges of the pool are 20m combined. We can subtract this from the total perimeter to find the total length of both longer sides combined.

50m-20m=30m

Now we know that the two long sides combined are 30 meters. We also know that since the pool is rectangular, these sides are of equal length, so we can divide the 30 meters between the two sides equally.

30/2=15

This means that each long side is 15 meters long, and the length of the pool is 15 meters.
