Question
A volleyball court is in a rectangular shape and its dimensions are directly proportional to the dimensions of the swimming pool given below. Find the width of the pool.
✓
Answer
Length of volleyball court $= 18M$
Breadth of volleyball court$= 9M$
Length of pool $= 75M$
Let width of swimming pool $= XM$
The size of volleyball court & swimming pool are in direct proportion to each other. $\frac{9}{18}=\frac{\text{x}}{75}$ $\text{x}=\frac{75\times9}{8}=\frac{75}{2}=37.5\text{m}$
Hence, the width of the swimming pool is $37.5m$
