The length of an Olympic-size pool is 50 meters. If x represents the width of one lane, what is the area of a pool with five lanes?

Area = length times width

A = 50 * 5x

5x

what would the formula be?

A = LW

I'm confused

thank you for the help :)))))

To find the area of a pool with five lanes, we need to know the width of one lane (represented by x) and the length of the pool.

The length of the pool is given as 50 meters, so we know the length.

We can find the width of the pool by multiplying the width of one lane (x) by the total number of lanes (5).

Therefore, the width of the pool with five lanes is 5x meters.

To find the area of a rectangle, we multiply the length by the width. So, the area of the pool can be calculated by multiplying the length (50 meters) by the width (5x meters).

Area = Length × Width

Area = 50 meters × 5x meters

Area = 250x square meters

Thus, the area of the pool with five lanes is 250x square meters.
