You can put this solution on YOUR website! A house owner wants to build a swimming pool in his backyard. The dimensions of the pool he wants to build is 60m by 40m. If the area of his backyard is only 40m^2, then what is the width of his backyard?
-----------------
That's a big pool, its area is 2400 sq meters.
It won't fit in his backyard with an area of 40 sq meters.
