Given:
A rectangular pool with the following measures,
Perimeter
Length = x + 8
Width = x
Let's determine the measure of its dimensions:
[tex]\text{ Perimeter = 2L + 2W}[/tex][tex]\text{ = 2(x + 8) + 2(x)}[/tex][tex]\text{ 44 = 2x + 16 + 2x}[/tex][tex]\text{ 44 = 4x + 16}[/tex][tex]\text{ 44 - 16 = 4x}[/tex][tex]\text{ 28 = 4x}[/tex][tex]\text{ }\frac{28}{4}\text{ = }\frac{4x\text{ }}{4}[/tex][tex]\text{ 7 = x}[/tex]Let's now determine its dimensions,
Length = x + 8 = 7 + 8 = 15 ft.
Width = x = 7 ft.
Therefore, the dimension of the rectangular pool is Length = 15 ft. and Width =7 ft.
