What are the length and width of the pool?
Answer to Problem 7PSP
There are many possible dimensions for the municipal swimming pool.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A municipal swimming pool is rectangular and covers an area of 15,000 square feet.
Calculation:
We know that the area of rectangle is width times.
To find the dimensions of municipal swimming pool, we need to find two numbers whose product is 15,000.
Such two numbers are 3 and 5000, 5 and 3000, 15 and 1000, 20 and 750, 30 and 500, 150 and 100.
There are many more such pairs whose product is 15,000, therefore, there are many possible dimensions for the municipal swimming pool.
