Question 496303: The width of a rectangular pool is one-third its length. If its perimeter is 96 meters, find the dimensions of the pool Answer by cleomenius(959) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! W = x
L = 3x
2x + 6x = 96
8x = 96
x = 12 This is our width.
3x = 36 This is our length.
2(12) = 24
2(36) = 72
24 m + 72 m = 96 m.
This does check.
