Answer:

B)15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using Pythagoras theorem as

Let

Width of the pool= c

Length of diagonal of swimming pool =b

Length of the pool= a

c^2= b^2 + a^2

c^2 - b^2 = a^2

C^2 = 29^2 - 25^2

C^2=( 841-625)

C= √216

( Width of the pool)=15 yards

Hence, measurement is closest to the width of the pool is 15 yards
