A swimming pool is 16 meters wide and 25 meters long. At $50 per square meter. how much will a child-proof covering for the pool cost?
Do this problem the same way I showed you for the last problem.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
To find out the cost of a child-proof covering for the pool, you need to calculate the area of the pool and then multiply it by the cost per square meter.
The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length of the pool is 25 meters and the width is 16 meters. So, the area of the pool is:
Area = Length × Width
= 25 meters × 16 meters
= 400 square meters
Now that we know the area of the pool is 400 square meters, we can calculate the cost of the child-proof covering. The cost per square meter is given as $50.
Cost = Area × Cost per square meter
= 400 square meters × $50
= $20,000
Therefore, a child-proof covering for the pool will cost $20,000.
