Step-by-step explanation:

Not near enough information to know.

I ASSUME that the pool is surrounded by a walkway of constant width (w = 2 ft, from comments)

The pool shape is important as well. No mention of  the shape

If the pool is circular and the walkway is 3 ft wide

the fence encloses a diameter of 110/π = 35 ft

so the diameter of the pool would be 35 - 2(3) = 29 ft.

POOL IS RECTANGULAR from comments

If the pool is square and the walkway is 2 ft wide, each side of the fence is

110 / 4 = 27.5 ft and the pool would be 27.5 - 2(2) = 23.5 ft on a side.

There are an infinite number of rectangular width and length dimensions and walkway dimensions which would result in a fence length of 110 ft.

Edit from comments

Still an infinite number of rectangular length an width dimensions for a pool with a 2 ft wide walkway around it.

Let's say that we are told the pool is 12 ft wide with 2 ft walkway.

Let L be the pool length

110 = 2(12 + 2(2)) + 2(L + 2(2))

110 = 32 + 2L + 8

70 = 2L

L = 35 ft
