A pool measuring 8 meters by 24 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width, as shown in the figure. If the area of the pool and the path combined is 720 square meters, what is the width of the path?
+37146 (2x+24)(2x+8) = 720 solve for x
4x^2 + 64 x - 528 = 0 Use quadratic formula to find the POSITIVE value of x ft
