Question

A circular cover to a swimming pool has a diameter that is 1.8 times the diameter of the cover to a hot tub. If the area of the swimming pool cover is about 254 square feet, what is the area of the hot tub cover in square feet? Round to the nearest foot.

Answer 1

141 square feet

Explanation:

254 / 3.14 = 80.89

80.89 / 1.8 = 44.93

44.93 x 3.14 = 141.08

Being rounded to the nearest foot would mean that the hot tub cover is about 141 square feet.
