Question

A diagram of a new competition swimming pool is shown. if the width of the pool is 25 meters, find the length of the actual pool

Answer 1

Where is it shown? :) Describe what the pool's dimensions are.

Answer 2

the length is 15cm and the width is 7.5cm

Answer 3

Setting up a proportion is key here.

\[\frac{L}{W}=\frac{l}{w}\]

left side = BIG LENGTH / BIG WIDTH
right side = little length / little width

Just fill in the numbers, and cross multiply to solve for the BIG LENGTH.

Hope this helps.
