1. Answer:

   52 m and 25 m

   Step-by-step explanation:

   let the length and breadth of the rectangular swimming pool be x m and y m respectively

   as per the question

   => x = 2y + 2

   => x – 2y = 2. eq(1)

   perimeter = 154

   => 2x + 2y = 154

   => x + y = 77. eq(2)

   solving eq 1 and 2 we get

   x+ y = 77

   x – 2y = 2

   ————–

   3y = 75

   y = 25

   from eq 1 we get

   x -2(25) = 2

   x = 2 + 50

   x = 52 m
