Question

A swimming pool is 22 feet long and 18 feet wide. How many feet of fencing are needed to enclose the pool

Answer 1

Answer:

80 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

length of pool = 22    ,  width of pool = 18

feet required for fencing the pool = 2 (l +b)

= 2 ( 22+18)

=2*40

=80feet

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The pool is a rectangle as length and breadth are different.

Since they are asking about fencing you need to find the perimeter.

Length=22feet

Breadth=18feet

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+b)

= 2 × 22 + 2×18

=44+36

=80 feet
