Translate this problem to an equation and solve. the area of a swimming pool is 200 square feet. the length of the pool is 10 feet longer than the width. what is the length of the swimming pool?

Hi,

The answer to your question is down below
The width measures 10 feet.Let the length be x and the width be x−10.Since the pool is rectangular:A=L×W200=x(x−10)200=x2−10x0=x2−10x−2000=(x−20)(x+10)x=20and−10A negative answer is not possible, so the width of the pool is (20−10)=10 feet.Hoped I Helped
