A backyard pool has a concrete walkway around it that is 4 feet wide on all sides. The total area of the pool and the walkway is 970f2
If the length of the pool is 8 feet longer than the width, find the dimensions of the pool.
The length of the pool is feet and the width is feet.
(Simplify your answer. Type integers or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth as needed.)

there are infinitely many solutions.

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
