Question

A rectangular pool is being constructed with a length that is four times the width. There will be a walkway constructed around the pool that is 6 feet wide all around. Write a factored expression for the area in square feet of the pool and the walkway combined.

Answer 1

(4x²+36) feet²

Explanation:

Area of the pool = L × W

Take width as x and Length as 4x

4x × x = (4x²)feet² {area of pool}

Area of walkway = L × W

6 × 6 = 36feet²

Total area = 4x² + 36 feet²
