Question 614149
a swimming pool has an area of 40 square meters and a perimeter of 26 meters.  What is the length and width of the swimming pool?
10 by 3 = 30 sq meters, not 40.
It's 5 by 8
-----------------
Is it possible for another pool to have the same area but a larger perimeter ?
Yes, it is.
It could be 0.1 m by 400 meter --> P = 800.2 meters
--------------------
L*W = 40
2L + 2W = 26
--> L = 8, W = 5 or vice versa
