Question

Patricia has a circular swimming pool. The diameter of the pool is 15 feet. What is the area of the swimming pool.

Answer 1

The area of the pool is 176.71

Explanation:

The formula for a triangle is Area= Pi r (radius) sq.

In this problem, you need to remember that radius is half the diameter.

STEP 1: Divide the diameter in half.

STEP 2: Multiply your answer by itself. (example: if your answer was 8, you would multiply by 8)

STEP 3: Multiply the answer by 3.14 (or Pi)

STEP 4: You just found the area of a circle, GREAT JOB!

Answer 2

given:

diameter= 15 feet

to find:

the area of the circular swimming pool.

solution:

`a = (1)/(4) \pi {d}^(2)`

`a = (1)/(5) * \pi * {15}^(2)`

`a = 176.71459 \: {ft}^(2)`

`a = 176.71 \: {ft}^(2)`

therefore, the area of the circular swimming pool is 176.71 square feets.
