Question

A swimming pool is 8 meters long. 6 meters wide, and 2 meters deep. The water-resistant paint needed for the pool costs $6 per square meter. How much will it cost to paint? How much paint do you need to paint the pool?

​

Answer 1

The cost to paint the pool is $576. You would need to buy 96 square meters of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the swimming pool, we need to multiply the length, width, and depth. So, the area of the pool is 8 meters x 6 meters x 2 meters = 96 square meters.

To calculate the cost of the water-resistant paint, we multiply the area of the pool by the cost per square meter. Therefore, the cost to paint the pool is 96 square meters x $6/square meter = $576.

Since the paint is sold per square meter, you would need to buy 96 square meters of paint to cover the entire pool.

Answer 2

$16

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area, we need to do length × width × height.

8 × 6 × 2 = surface area of pool.

96 square meters = surface area of pool.

96/6 = cost of paint

$16 = cost of paint
