Question

A pool measures 14 feet by 25 feet and it is surrounded by a ​-foot deck. How much fencing is needed to fence the outside of the​ deck?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey!

The way we solve this, is instead of solving for the pool and then the deck, we can solve for just the deck!

the deck adds a foot on any side of the pool, so we would add a foot to each of our dimensions!

14+1 = 15

25+1 =26

So now we add!

15+15+26+26 = 82

We need 82 feet of fencing

Hope this helps!^^
