Answer 1

Answer:

Are they going to build the fence on the edge of the pool?  How are they going to get into the pool?  This question is illogical, however....

Step-by-step explanation:

A square pool is also wierd.

Volume Pool = side × side × depth

Volume Pool / depth = side²                 solve for side

side² = Volume Pool / depth

the fence is 3.5 feet tall

Fencing sqft one side = side × fence height  for ONE side

Total Fencing = 4 × Fencing sqft one side

side² = 3464 ft³ / 8 ft

         = 422 ft²

side  =  √422 ft²

        =  20.54 ft

Fencing area one side  = 20.54 × 3.5

       = 71.899 ft²

Total fencing = 4× 71.899 ft²

      = 287.6 ft²      to the nearest tenth     <--------------------   FINAL ANSWER
