A holiday resort has rectangular-shaped pools, including a swimming pool for adults and a wading pool for children. The two pools are similar in shape and have dimensions, in meters, as shown in the figure below. A swimming pool with 30 as lenght and 18 as width and a smaller one to the side with x+ 2 as lenght and x as width What is the value, in meters, of x? A. 3 B. 5 C. 7 D. 9 I believe the answer is A, is that right? Heres my reasoning! 18/30 = x/(x + 2) 18(x + 2) = 30(x) 18x + 36 = 30x 36 = 12x x= 3m Is this right?
