Question

The jones family has a circular swimming pool with a diameter of 15 feet. Find the area of the pool cover to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

176.7 square feet

Explanation:

Diameter, d = 15 feet

radius, r = d/2

r = 15/2 = 7.5 feet

π = 3.142

Area of the pool = area of a circle

= πr^2

= 3.142 * 7.5^2

= 176.7375

to the nearest tenth

= 176.7 square feet
