Question

A rectangular reflecting pool is 56.5 ft wide and 141 ft long. What is the area of the pool in square meters

Answer 1

By definition, the area of the pool is 740.112 m².

Definition of area

The area is the measure of a space delimited by a contour which is called perimeter.

That is, the area gives an idea of ​​how much surface a figure covers and is defined as the measure of the region or surface enclosed by a geometric figure.

Area of a rectangle

A rectangle is a flat geometric figure with four sides, of which two sides that are opposite parallel to each other have the same length and the remaining two have another length.

The area of ​​a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the lengths of two contiguous sides of the figure which are different from each other, that is, the length is multiplied by the width:

Area= length× width

This case

A rectangular reflecting pool is 56.5 ft wide and 141 ft long. So, the area of the rectangular pool is calculated as:

Area= length× width

Area= 141 ft× 56.5 ft

Solving:

Area= 7966.5 ft²= 740.112 m² (being 1 ft²= 0.092903 m²)

So, the area of the pool is 740.112 m².
