Question

14. It costs a pool cover manufacturer $0.15 per square foot for the material they use to make pool covers. If a certain circular pool requires a cover with a 24-foot diameter, find the cost for the material

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.83

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the pool = 24ft

Cost of 1 ft² = $0.15

Area of the pool=?

But the pool is a circular pool,

Area of a circle = Πr² or πd²/4

π = 3.142

Area of the pool = (π * 24) / 4

Area = (3.142 * 24) / 4

Area = 18.85ft²

If 1ft² = $0.15

18.85 = $x

x = (18.85 * 0.15) / 1

x = $2.8275 = $2.83

The cost of the pool is $2.83
