C 24 feet x 36 feet24 feet x 36 feet
D 30 feet x 40 feet30 feet x 40 feet
E 35 feet x 45 feet
The scale is 3 feet for every 0.25 inches. To find the actual dimensions, we can set it up as a proportion:
2 inches * (3 feet / 0.25 inches) = 24 feet
3 inches * (3 feet / 0.25 inches) = 36 feet
So, the actual dimensions of the pool are 24 feet by 36 feet. Therefore, the answer is C) 24 feet x 36 feet.
