George plans to cover his circular pool for the upcoming winter season. The pool has a diameter of 20 feet and extends 12 inches beyond the edge of the pool. A rope runs along the edge of the cover to secure it in place.


a.
What is the area of the pool cover?
b.
What is the length of the rope?

3 answers

as you recall
a = πr^2
c = 2πr

so, the pool with cover has a diameter of 21 ft. The radius is thus 10.5

Now just plug and chug.
Steve it was wrong.
What is the actual answer?
