The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 86 m and its area is 450 square meters. If the width is represented as w, how do you represent its length?

 

P=2(L+w)

86=2(L+w)

43=L+w

L=43-w

A=L*w

450=L*w

L=450/w

 

43w=450w43ww2=450w243w+450=0w=43±184918002w=43±72w=25or18

 

Length is 25m   width is   18m
