The assumption is that the pool is rectangular.
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter of a rectangle is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2%2A%28L%2BW%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In this case,the length is 30 meters longer than 6 times the width,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=30%2B6W\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute in the perimeter equation,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2%2A%28%2830%2B6W%29%2BW%29=1110\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"30%2B7W=555\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"7W=525\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=75\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then from above,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=30%2B6W=30%2B6%2875%29=480\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The pool dimensions are 480m by 75m.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
