of the pool. How many feet of fencing will she need?
2 answers:
Answer: 222 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Megan wants to build a fence around her pool.
The dimensions of the pool is given by :-
28 feet long by 23 feet wide
Since, the fence is to be at distance of 15 feet from the edge of the pool.
Therefore, dimensions of the fence will be :-
(28+15+15) feet long by (23+15+15) feet wide= 58 feet long by 53 feet wide.
Now, the length of the fencing =
Hence, she will need 222 feet of fencing.

Answer: The answer is A 17in2
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question it states that the triangles are congruent (both the same).
first I found the area of the top orange triangle.
the formula to find the area of a triangle is (base times Height).
so I did which gave me 8.27.
Since the triangles are congruent (the same) they would both have the same area along with base and height. so I multiplied 8.27 by 2 (because there are two triangles) and got 16.54 which rounds up to 17.
the question also stated to find the APPROXIMATE area (close to the actual, but not completely accurate or exact.)
