Question

Jocelyn's swimming pool is 14.75ft long by 7.5 ft wide. The community center swimming pool is 200 square feet larger than Jocelyn's pool. Find the area of the community center swimming pool. Please show work.

Answer 1

310.625 ft²

Explanation:

Jocelyn's rectangular pool has an area that is the product of its length and width:

area = L·W = (14.75 ft)(7.5 ft) = 110.625 ft

The community pool is 200 ft² larger, so its area is ...

community pool area = 110.625 ft² +200 ft² = 310.625 ft²
