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? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
