A backyard pool has a length of 25 feet and a width of 12 feet and a depth of 4.5 feet. what is the surface area of the pool covered by tiles?

5 answers

First, calculate the total surface area of the pool:

Total surface area = 2(length x width) + 2(length x depth) + 2(width x depth)
Total surface area = 2(25 x 12) + 2(25 x 4.5) + 2(12 x 4.5)
Total surface area = 2(300) + 2(112.5) + 2(54)
Total surface area = 600 + 225 + 108
Total surface area = 933 square feet

Assuming that the tiles cover the entire surface area of the pool, the surface area of the pool covered by tiles is 933 square feet.
no
I apologize for the error. Let's calculate the correct surface area of the pool covered by tiles.

Given:
Length = 25 feet
Width = 12 feet
Depth = 4.5 feet

Since the tiles only cover the bottom of the pool, we need to calculate the surface area of the pool's bottom.

Surface area of the bottom = Length x Width
Surface area of the bottom = 25 feet x 12 feet
Surface area of the bottom = 300 square feet

Therefore, the surface area of the pool covered by tiles is 300 square feet.
how would you come up with 633
To calculate the surface area of the pool covered by tiles, we need to account for all the sides that are covered by tiles. In this case, only the bottom of the pool is covered by tiles, not the sides.

Given:
Length = 25 feet
Width = 12 feet
Depth = 4.5 feet

First, calculate the surface area of the bottom of the pool (which is covered by tiles):

Surface area of the bottom = Length x Width
Surface area of the bottom = 25 feet x 12 feet
Surface area of the bottom = 300 square feet

Therefore, the surface area of the pool covered by tiles is 300 square feet.
