A rectangular pool 12 meters by 8 meters is surrounded by a walkway of width x meters. At what
value of x will the area of the walkway equal the area of the pool?
Explain. (don’t send file)


Sagot :

X=3

x is the width of the sidewalk
The outside dimensions of the walkway are 12 + 2x by 8 + 2x
The total area is (12 + 2x)(8 + 2x)
The total area minus the area of the pool should be equal to the area of the pool
