A pool measuring 12 meters by 30 meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. If the area of the pool and path combined is 1288 square meters, what is the width of the path?

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: A pool measuring meters by meters is surrounded by a path of uniform width. If the area of the pool and path combined is square meters.

TO FIND: Width of the path.

SOLUTION:

Consider the figure attached.

let the width of the path be

Total width of pool including pool

Total length of pool including pool

Now,

Area of pool and path combined

area of pool and path combined

                     solving equation we get

Hence the width of the path is

f
