A rectangular pool surrounded by a walkway is enclosed in a backyard. The enclosed section covers an area of 300 square feet, and the width is 5 feet shorter than the length. The walkway has width x feet.

Given the formula A=(20−2x)(15−2x), what does (15−2x) represent in this context?

Respuesta :

MrRoyal

(15−2x) represents the width of the pool without the walkway

How to interpret the expression?

The area is given as:

Area = 300

From the question, we have:

Width = Length - 5

And the area of the pool without the walkway is:

A = (20 - 2x)(15 - 2x)

Since the width is 5 feet shorter than the length, then

(15−2x) would represent the width of the pool while (20−2x) would represent the length of the pool.

Hence, (15−2x) represents the width of the pool without the walkway
