Answer:

531.167 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Dimension of pool

Diameter =24ft

Radius =12ft

If the cover must hang by 1ft around, then the diameter is 26ft

Radius =13ft

Area of cover = πr²

Substitute

Area = 3.142*13²

Area =3.143*169

Area =531.167 ft²

Hence the minimum area is 531.167 ft²
