Question

A swimming pool is shaped like a square. The distance between each of the pool's corners is 20
feet. A pool cover with dimensions of 15 feet by 30 feet is used to protect the pool during the winter
season. Will the cover protect the entire pool? Explain.

Answer 1

First find the area of the pool

It mentioned 1 side is 20, so multiply

20*20=400

Now find the area of the pool cover

15*30=450

Yes, because the pool cover's area is bigger than the pool's area
