Answer:

a. What will be the new dimensions of Jem Boy's pool?

Length = 10 m , Width = 6 m

Solution:

Length - increasing its by 2 meters

8 m + 2 m = 10 m

Width - decreasing its by 2 meters

8 m - 2 m = 6 m

b. What will the new area of Jem Boy's pool? What special product will be used?

Solution:

To find the area of a rectangle, we have the formula, length times width.

Area = l × w

= (8 m + 2 m)(8 m - 2 m)

= 10 m(6 m)

= 60 m²

c. If the sides of the square pool is unknown, how will you represent its area?

Let x be the side of the square pool.

d. If Jem Boy does not want the area of his pool to decrease, will he pursue his plan?

Jem Boy should not pursue his plan because the area of the rectangular pool is smaller than the area of the square pool by 4 m².
