1. The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 86m and its area is 450m2. a. How would you check if the dimensions of the swimming pool were obtained to satisfy the conditions of the given situation? b. Suppose the dimensions of the swimming pool are both doubled, how would it affect its perimeter? How about its area?
