The perimeter of a rectangular swimming pool is 446 centimeters. the width of the pool is 7 centimeters less than the length of the pool. find the length and the width of the swimming pool.

length = 115

width = 115 -7 = 108

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

Perimeter of rectangle with length 'l' and width 'b' is given by,

Perimeter = 2(l + b)

To find the length and breadth

Here perimeter = 446 cm

Let 'x' be the length of rectangle then width = x - 7

Perimeter = 2(l + b) =446

2(x + x - 7) = 446

2(2x  - 7) = 446

2x - 7 = 446/2 = 223

2x = 223 +7

2x = 230

x = 230/2 = 115

Therefore length = 115

Then width = 115 -7 = 108

2.56 is the width of the garden
