Question 1008111: a rectangle yard measures 50 ft. long and 40 ft wide, it contains a rectangular swimming pool. If the yard is 10 feet wider than the pool on each side, what is the perimeter of the swimming pool?

If the yard is ten feet wider on each side, then the pool must measure
(50-10-10) by (40-10-10) or
30 feet by 20 feet.
The perimeter is 30 + 20 + 30 + 20 = 100 feet
