Adam is building a rectangular swimming pool. The perimeter of the pool must be no more than 120 feet. If the length of the pool is 22 feet, write and solve an inequality that represents what the width of the pool must be.
Let's denote the width of the pool as w.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width.
Given that the length of the pool is 22 feet and the perimeter must be no more than 120 feet, we can write the inequality as:
2(22) + 2w ≤ 120
44 + 2w ≤ 120
2w ≤ 120 - 44
2w ≤ 76
w ≤ 76/2
w ≤ 38
Therefore, the width of the pool must be no more than 38 feet.
