Answer:

[tex]A(w) = 40w - w^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]P = 80[/tex] --- perimeter

Required

Define the area in terms of width

The perimeter of the pool is:

[tex]P =2(l + w)[/tex]

Where:

[tex]l\to length[/tex]

[tex]w\to width[/tex]

So:

[tex]80 =2(l + w)[/tex]

Divide by 2

[tex]40 =l + w[/tex]

Make l the subject

[tex]l = 40-w[/tex]

The area is then calculated as;

[tex]A(w) = l * w[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]l = 40-w[/tex]

[tex]A(w) = (40 - w) * w[/tex]

[tex]A(w) = 40w - w^2[/tex]
