You have an above ground pool that is 20 feet in diameter. One bag of sand does three square feet. How many bags of sand do you need?

Respuesta :

Answer:    Number of sand bags are 105

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The diameter of pool is given as : [tex]20 \ \text{feet}[/tex]

The radius of pool will be : [tex]r=\frac{20}{2}=10[/tex]

So the area of the pool will be:

Area = [tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

Area = [tex]\pi *10^2[/tex]

Area = [tex]100 \pi[/tex]

Area = [tex]314.16[/tex]

3 square feet is covered by 1 sand bag, so

314.16 square feet will be covered by : [tex]\frac{314.16}{3}[/tex]

So, no of sand bag = [tex]104.7[/tex]

Rounding off to nearest number

Number of sand bags are 105  :   Answer

Hope it will help :)
