Problema Solution

a swimming pool is 35 meters by 20 meters.A 2 meters concrete wall is built around the pool.What is the area of the wall?

Answer provided by our tutors

35 x 20 = 700 meters2   this is the area of the pool.

new area is  (35+2+2)   x  (20+2+2) = 963 meters2    

 we add 2 meters on each side of the 35m and 2meters on each side of the 20m.

so new area  -  the pool area = wall area.

963             -   700              = 263 meters2
