The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 56 meters. The width is 4 meters less than the length. What is the width of the swimming pool? 4 meters 4 meters 8 meters 8 meters 12 meters 12 meters 24 meters

Length = 16 meters

Width = 12 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

Let

length = x

Width = (x - 4) meters

Perimeter of the rectangular pool = 56 meters

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)

56 = 2{x + (x - 4)}

56 = 2(x + x - 4)

56 = 2(2x - 4)

56 = 4x - 8

56 + 8 = 4x

64 = 4x

x = 64/4

x = 16

length = x = 16 meters

Width = (x - 4) meters

= 16 - 4

= 12 meters
