\n" );
document.write( "The length of the pool is 4 meters more than its width
\n" );
document.write( "Let x and (x + 4m) represent the width and length respectively
\n" );
document.write( "Question states***
\n" );
document.write( "  x(x+4m) = 192 m^2
\n" );
document.write( "solving for x
\n" );
document.write( " x^2 + 4m - 192 m^2 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "factoring
\n" );
document.write( "(x+16)(x-12)=0           |OR  using Quadratic Formula
\n" );
document.write( "(x+16)=0  tossing out negative solution for measure
\n" );
document.write( "(x-12)=0   x = 12m, the width.  The length is 16m   (12m+4m) \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
