Answer :

The perimeter of pool A is equal to 60 feet.

How to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle?

In Mathematics and Geometry, the perimeter of a rectangle can be calculated by using this mathematical equation (formula);

P = 2(L + W)

Where:

  • P represent the perimeter of a rectangle.
  • W represent the width of a rectangle.
  • L represent the length of a rectangle.

From the perimeter of pool B, we have the following:

120 = 2(L + 20)

120 = 2L + 40

2L = 80

Length of pool B = 80/2 = 40 feet.

Length of pool A = width of pool B = 20 feet.

Width of pool A = 1/4 × Length of pool B

Width of pool A = 1/4 × 40

Width of pool A = 10 feet.

perimeter of pool A = 2(20 + 10)

perimeter of pool A = 60 feet.
