Question

If the width of a pool is 60 feet and the perimeter is 200 feet, how long is the pool?

A. 140 feet
B. 120 feet
C. 40 feet
D. 50 feet

Answer 1

c

Explanation:

Substitute the values in the problem to get, (200) = 2(60) + 2W. Solve for W to get 200 = 120 + 2W. Subtract 120 on both sides to get 80 = 2W. Divide by 2 on both sides to get 40 = W or a width of 40 feet.

hope that helped you.
