Answer: dimensions of pool are 4m and 9m.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Given,the width of the path is x m.
  • And the outside edges of pool ,easures 7m and 12m.
  • So,the dimensions of pool will decrease by 2x i.e., x from each side.
  • Dimensions of pool= (7-2x)m and (12-2x)m
  • Given,area of pool= 36 sq.m
  • Now,according to question

       (7-2x)×(12-2x)=36

    ⇒7(12-2x)-2x(12-2x)=36

    ⇒84-14x-24x+4=36

    ⇒4-38x+84-36=0

    ⇒4-38x+48=0

    ⇒2(2-19x+24)=0

    ⇒(2-19x+24)=0

    ⇒2-16x-3x+24=0

    ⇒2x(x-8)-3(x-8)=0

    ⇒(2x-3)(x-8)=0

    ⇒If 2x-3=0 then x=  and if x-8=0 then x=8(not possible)

     ∴ x=1.5m

  • (7-2x)=(7-2*1.5)=(7-3)=4m and (12-2x)=(12-3)=9m
  • So, the dimensions of pool are (7-2x)m and (12-2x)m i.e.,4m and 9m.
