rats i really thought i got this, but now i'm stuck again!!!
i think my teacher's out 2 get me. LOL.
OK, here it is: (it's not as hard as the other 1, but still confusing.)
A rectangular swimming pool is 3 times as long as it is wide & is surrounded by a deck 2.5 m wide. Find the dimensions of the pool if the area of the deck is 265 m(squared. idk how 2 make the 2 small, so i'll just write squared.)

the odd # problems have the answers to them in the back of the book. The answer to the problem is 36m by 12 m. But how did they get that?

My brain is fried right now, but maybe we could revive the old homework help thread - it's over at http://arwen-undomiel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2125 . Then your thread wouldn't get pushed off the Misc. Randomness page so quickly.
