A pool is 12m long and 7m wide it is surrounded by a 3m paved area on all sides the whole complex is enclosed by a 2m high fence what is the total length of this fencing
2(12+6) + 2(7+6) = ?
To find the total length of the fencing required for the pool complex, we can break it down into different sections:
1. The perimeter of the pool:
The pool is 12m long and 7m wide, so the perimeter of the pool is calculated as:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width) = 2 * (12m + 7m) = 2 * 19m = 38m
2. The paved area around the pool:
The paved area is 3m wide on all sides of the pool. So, the length of the paved area on both sides is:
Length of the paved area = 2 * (Length + Width) = 2 * (12m + 7m) = 2 * 19m = 38m
3. The fence enclosing the pool complex:
The fence is 2m high and surrounds the entire pool complex, including the pool and the paved area.
Total fence length = Perimeter of the pool + Length of the paved area on both sides + Length of the paved area on both ends
= 38m + 38m + 38m
= 114m
Therefore, the total length of fencing required to enclose the pool complex is 114 meters.
