Question

The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 154 m. Its length is 2 m more than twice its breadth. What are the length and the breadth of the pool?

Answer 1

P= 2(L + W)

Let x= width
Let 2 + 2(x) = length

Therefore...
2(x + 2 + 2x) = 154
3x + 2 = 77
3x = 75
x = 25

Width = 25
Length = 52 Please mark brainliest or thanks if it helped :D

Answer 2

Answer:

The length of the pool is 52 m and breadth is 25 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the breadth of the pool be x m.

Then, the length of the pool = 2x + 2 m

Perimeter = 2(l + b)

=> 154 = 2(2x + 2 + x)

=> 154 =2(3x + 2)

=> 154 = 6x + 4

=> 6x = 154 – 4

=> 6x = 150

=> x = 150/6

=> x = 25

Length of the pool = 2x + 2 = 2 * 25 + 2 = 50 + 2 = 52 m

Breadth of the pool = 25 m

Hence, the length of the pool is 52 m and breadth is 25 m.
