A rectangular swimming pool is twice as long as it is wide. A small concrete walkway surrounds the pool. The walkway is a constant 2 feet wide and has an area of 196 square feet. Find the dimensions of the pool.
The pool is a rectangle twice as long as it is wide.
The pool and the walk is a rectangle that is 4 feet longer and 4 feet wider than the pool.
The difference betwee the area of the pool and walk and the area of the pool is 196 ft^2.
Start by letting w be the width of the pool and use what you know.
*w=15ft
