Let the breadth of the swimming pool be x then according to the question:
Lentgh of swimming pool = 2×Breadth + 2
Now, the swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangle
So,
Perimeter of swimming pool = 2 ( Length + Breadth)
==> 2( 2x + 2 + x ) = 154
==> 2( 3x + 2 ) = 154
==> 3x + 2 = 77
==> 3x = 77 - 2
==> 3x = 75
==> x = 25
Substituting value of length in breadth:
==> length = 2x + 2
==> length = 50 + 2
==> length = 52
Hence,
Length of swimming pool is 52 m and breadth is 25 m
