A municipality has as a project to build a swimming pool in a sports center
for the teaching of swimming, and thus contribute to the development of their community through
sport. Said pool must be in the shape of a rectangular prism and have the following
dimensions: 18 m long, 6 m wide and 1.80 m deep. Jhon Tomas, the head of the
project, decides that the most convenient thing is to cover the walls and floor of the pool with
20 cm square tiles on each side.

square? If the hardware stores sell it by boxes containing 1.5m2 of tiles, how many boxes are
will they need approximately?
