Answer:
Width = 16 m
Length = 4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of rectangular is 64m² the length of the pool is 12 m less that the width . The situation can be represented by the equation x
Area of a rectangle = Length × Width
L = W - 12
Hence:
64 = (W - 12) × W
64 = W² - 12W
W² - 12W - 64 = 0
Factor using
(W + 4)(W - 16) = 0
Width = 16m
Length = W - 12
Length = 16 m - 12 m
= 4 m
