    1. Show the formula to determine the area of a rectangle.

    area = length x width

    2. Rearrange the formula to find the unknown length of Nick's pool

    length = area / width

    3. Calculate the length of Nick's pool.

    length = 384 / 16 = 24 feet

    4. If Nick had to buy a cover that was too long (30 foot), how much extra area would be left over after the pool is covered?

    (30 - 24) * 16 = 6 * 16 = 96 square feet
