Answer:
(a) 136 ft
(b) $680
Explanation:
You want to know the perimeter length and the cost of tiling around a pool with the L-shape shown.
(a) Perimeter
The sum of horizontal lengths at the bottom of the pool outline is the same as the length at the top.
The sum of vertical lengths at the left of the pool outline is the same as the length on the right.
The perimeter is the sum of horizontal and vertical lengths of the outline, so is ...
P = 2(40 ft + 28 ft) = 136 ft
The perimeter of the pool is 136 ft.
(b) Tile cost
The cost of tile is found by multiplying the cost per length by the length around the pool.
tile cost = ($15/(3 ft))(136 ft) = $680
It will cost $680 to put tiles around the edge of the pool.
