To find the surface area covered by tiles, we need to calculate the total surface area of the pool first.
The pool has 2 long sides (25 ft x 4.5 ft), 2 short sides (12 ft x 4.5 ft), and a bottom surface (25 ft x 12 ft).
Surface area of long sides = 2 * 25 ft * 4.5 ft = 225 sq ft
Surface area of short sides = 2 * 12 ft * 4.5 ft = 108 sq ft
Bottom surface area = 25 ft * 12 ft = 300 sq ft
Total surface area = 225 sq ft + 108 sq ft + 300 sq ft = 633 sq ft
If the tiles cover the entire surface area of the pool, then the surface area covered by tiles would be 633 sq ft.
However, if the tiles only cover the walls (long sides and short sides) of the pool and not the bottom, then the surface area covered by tiles would be 225 sq ft + 108 sq ft = 333 sq ft.
A swimming pool has a length of 25 feet, a width of 12 feet and a depth of 4.5 feet what is the surface area of the pool covered by tiles
