Need help with this.

A concrete path of width 1m and thickness 10cm is to be placed around you pool. Find the number of cubic meters of ready mixed concrete required to lay the path.

Additional Info: pool area is 25.75 without concrete around it.

I have completely forgotten how to calculate this.

Thank You.

To calculate the amount of ready-mixed concrete required to lay the path around your pool, we need to find the volume of the concrete.

The volume of the concrete path can be calculated by subtracting the area of the pool from the area including the concrete.

1. First, let's calculate the area of the pool with the concrete path:
- Pool area = 25.75 m²
- Width of the concrete path = 1 m
- Length of the concrete path will be the same as the length of the pool. Let's assume it to be L.
- Area of the pool with the concrete path = (Length + 2*Width) * (Width + 2*Width)
= (L + 2*1) * (1 + 2*1)
= (L + 2) * 3

2. Next, we subtract the area of the pool without the concrete path from the total area calculated in step 1 to find the area of just the concrete path:
- Area of the concrete path = Area with concrete - Pool area
= (L + 2) * 3 - 25.75
= 3L + 6 - 25.75
= 3L - 19.75

3. Now, let's calculate the volume of the concrete path:
- The thickness of the concrete path is given as 10 cm, which is equal to 0.1 m.
- Volume of the concrete path = Area of the concrete path * Thickness
= (3L - 19.75) * 0.1
= 0.3L - 1.975

Therefore, the number of cubic meters of ready-mixed concrete required to lay the path is 0.3L - 1.975 cubic meters.

To find the volume of concrete required to lay the path, we need to calculate the volume of the rectangular strip that surrounds the pool.

First, let's calculate the length of the path. Since the pool area without concrete around it is given as 25.75 square meters, we know that the length and width of the pool are not equal. However, we don't have enough information to determine the exact dimensions of the pool.

Let's assume that the length and width of the pool are L meters and W meters, respectively. In that case, the total length of the pool area with concrete around it would be L + 2 m (for the additional 1m on each side).

Given that the pool area without concrete is 25.75 square meters, the total area of the pool with concrete is (L + 2)(W + 2) = 25.75.

Next, let's convert the thickness of the path to meters. The thickness is given as 10 cm, which is equivalent to 0.1 meters.

Finally, we can calculate the volume of concrete required by multiplying the total length of the pool area, the width of the pool area, and the thickness of the path:

Volume of concrete = (L + 2)(W + 2)(0.1)

Since the exact dimensions of the pool are not provided, we cannot calculate the exact volume of concrete required. However, you can substitute the appropriate values of L and W into the equation to determine the required volume.
