Answer 1

whats the area of the pool?

Answer 2

im assuming a rectanglular pool

Answer 3

i'm guessing since the pool is 10 by 20, the area would be 200 maybe?? :/

Answer 4

correct, and since the total area involoved is 600, all we gotta do is subtract the pool from it to get the path

(10+x)(20+x) = 600 sorry read the question wrong :)
