A swiming pool has a perimeter of 72 feet. The short sides measure 16 feet. What is the length of the longer sides of the pool

40 for both of the long sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps! <3

Each long side is 20

Step-by-step explanation: If the short side were 16 then you would subtract 32 from 72. This would give you 40 you would divide this by two because you have two sides. So each long side is 20.

you should talk someone who owns the website about it. you did not deserve to have all that hard work and time taken away. id watch videos of little puppies to cool you down, and maybe some nacho cheese doritos.

step-by-step explanation:

rectangles are made up of 4 right angles, which means that a side and a base meet perpendicular to one another.   their slopes then have to reflect perpendicular slopes.   perpendicular slopes are opposite reciprocals of one another.   for example, if the slope of one line is +2/3, then the perpendicular slope to that would be -3/2.   so we look for that combination in our choices.

all of them satisfy that condition (so what's the question, i guess? )
