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
To find the outside dimensions of the area surrounding the pool, you need to add twice the 15-foot distance to both the length and width of the pool.
Length of the outside area = Length of the pool + 2 * Distance from the pool edge to the fence
Length of the outside area = 26 feet + 2 * 15 feet
Length of the outside area = 26 feet + 30 feet
Length of the outside area = 56 feet
Width of the outside area = Width of the pool + 2 * Distance from the pool edge to the fence
Width of the outside area = 21 feet + 2 * 15 feet
Width of the outside area = 21 feet + 30 feet
Width of the outside area = 51 feet
Therefore, the outside dimensions of the area surrounding the pool are 56 feet by 51 feet.
To find out how many feet of fencing Sally will need, you need to calculate the perimeter of the outside area.
Perimeter of the outside area = 2 * (Length of the outside area + Width of the outside area)
Perimeter of the outside area = 2 * (56 feet + 51 feet)
Perimeter of the outside area = 2 * 107 feet
Perimeter of the outside area = 214 feet
Therefore, Sally will need 214 feet of fencing to build a fence around her pool.
To find the outside dimensions of the area surrounding the pool, we need to add 15 feet on each side of the length and width of the pool.
The pool's length is 26 feet, so adding 15 feet on each side gives: 26 feet + 15 feet + 15 feet = 56 feet.
The pool's width is 21 feet, so adding 15 feet on each side gives: 21 feet + 15 feet + 15 feet = 51 feet.
Therefore, the outside dimensions of the area surrounding the pool are 56 feet by 51 feet.
To find out how many feet of fencing Sally will need, we need to calculate the perimeter of the outside dimensions.
The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding all four sides.
For the outside dimensions of 56 feet by 51 feet:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 * (56 feet + 51 feet)
Perimeter = 2 * 107 feet
Perimeter = 214 feet
Sally will need 214 feet of fencing.
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.
