Final answer:

Each side of the square pool is 17.625 feet long, calculated by dividing the total distance around the pool, which is the perimeter of 70.5 feet, by 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance around a square is the perimeter, which is the sum of all four sides. Since a square has all sides of equal length, you can find the length of one side by dividing the total distance (perimeter) by 4.

To calculate the length of one side of the square pool with a total distance around of 70.5 feet:

Divide 70.5 feet by 4.

70.5 feet ÷ 4 = 17.625 feet.

Thus, each side of the pool is 17.625 feet long.
