The width of a rectangular swimming pool is 12 meters less than the length, and the perimeter is 72 meters. Find its dimensions in meters

Respuesta :

Answer:

The dimensions are 24 and 12 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

W + L + W + L = 72   perimeter

(L-12) + L + (L-12) + L = 72

4L - 24 = 72

4L = 72 + 24 = 96  ====>  L = 96%2F4 = 24.

The dimensions are 24 and 12 meters.
