sally wants to build a fence around her pool the pool is 26 feet long by 21 feet wide the fence is to be 15 feet from the edge of the pool what are the outside dimensions of the area surrounding the pool and how many feet f fencing will sally need

Answer 1

To find the outside dimensions of the area surrounding the pool, we need to add 15 feet to each side of the length and width of the pool:

- Length: 26 feet + 15 feet + 15 feet = 56 feet
- Width: 21 feet + 15 feet + 15 feet = 51 feet

So the outside dimensions of the area surrounding the pool are 56 feet by 51 feet.

To find how many feet of fencing Sally will need, we can add up the lengths of all four sides:

- Two sides are 56 feet long, so they add up to 2 x 56 = 112 feet.
- Two sides are 51 feet long, so they add up to 2 x 51 = 102 feet.

Adding these together, we get a total of 112 + 102 = 214 feet of fencing needed.
