Answer:
Width of the pool = 15 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Length of diagonal of swimming pool = 29 yards
Length of the pool = 25 yards
Let,
w be the width.
This will form a right angled triangle where the diagonal will be hypotenuse.
Using Pythagorean theorem;
[tex](25)^2+(w)^2 = (29)^2\\625+w^2=841\\w^2= 841 - 625\\w^2 = 216[/tex]
Taking square root on both sides
[tex]\sqrt{w^2}=\sqrt{216}\\w=14.70[/tex]
Rounding off to nearest whole number
w = 15 yards
Hence,
Width of the pool = 15 yards
