Hi,

The answer to your question is down below

The width measures 10 feet.

Let the length be x and the width be x−10.

Since the pool is rectangular:

A=L×W

200=x(x−10)

200=x2−10x

0=x2−10x−200

0=(x−20)(x+10)

x=20and−10

A negative answer is not possible, so the width of the pool is (20−10)=10 feet.
