Answer:
- perimeter: 46 ft
- area: 126 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the 3 ft edge is on both sides of the pool, each dimension of the pool is 6 ft shorter than the corresponding dimension of the space. The pool will be 15 ft -6 ft = 9 ft in one direction and 20 ft -6 ft = 14 ft in the other direction.
The perimeter of the pool is the sum of its side lengths:
P = 9 ft + 14 ft + 9 ft + 14 ft = 2(9 ft +14 ft) = 2(23 ft)
P = 46 ft
__
The area of the pool is the product of its length and width:
A = (14 ft)(9 ft) = 126 ft²
The perimeter and area are 46 ft and 126 ft², respectively.
