The dimensions of pool 25.5m width, 76.5m length.

Area is the amount of space occupied by a two-dimensional figure. In other words, it is the quantity that measures the number of unit squares that cover the surface of a closed figure.

let x=  Width

formula of area of rectangle = Length x Width

Given;

[tex]\begin{aligned}&(3 x+2)(x+2)=3 x^{2} +208 \\&3x^{2} +8 x+4=3x^{2} +208\end{aligned}[/tex]

We can substrate [tex]3x^{2}[/tex] and 4 from both sides.

8x = 204

x = 25.5m width, 76.5m length.

(25.5)(76.5) = 1950.75 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

(27.5)(78.5) = 2158.75 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

The difference is 208[tex]m^{2}[/tex]

The dimensions of pool 25.5m width, 76.5m length .
