Step-by-step explanation:
Let the breadth of the swimming pool be x meter.
Therefore, Length=x+2 meter
A.T.P
2*(x+x+2)=154
2*2x+2=154
4x+4=154
4x=154-4
4x=150
x=150÷4
x=37.5
Therefore, Breadth=37.5
Length=39.5

Given that,
Perimeter of rectangular swimming pool = 154 m
Let the breadth of rectangle be = x
According to the question,
Length of the rectangle = 2x + 2 We know that,
Perimeter = 2(length + breadth)
⇒ 2(2x + 2 + x) = 154 m
⇒ 2(3x + 2) = 154
⇒ 3x +2 = 154/2
⇒ 3x = 77 – 2
⇒ 3x = 75
⇒ x = 75/3
⇒ x = 25 m
Therefore, Breadth = x = 25 cm
Length = 2x + 2
= (2 × 25) + 2
= 50 + 2
= 52 m
