0 Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Uhm if it's as easy as I think it is, solutions are as following: 30+30+25+25= 110 feet (30+4.5+4.5+25+4.5+4.5)*2= 146 feet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is different from what everyone else got...I'm just trying to figure out how to do this. By the way - I'm a 7th grader.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yeah this isn't too hard. The Sherman family has a pool 30 feet long, and 25 feet wide. There is a walkway 4.5 feet wide around the pool 2(30 + 4.5 + 4.5) + 2(25 + 4.5 + 4.5) = 146. Pool is 30m long, 25 wide. 4.5 perimeter of walkway. 4.5 m is added to each end of each side of the pool (4 sides). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok... both problems were easy... more than easy!!! A:30+30+25+25= 110ft (30+4.5+4.5)+(30+4.5+4.5)+(25+4.5+4.5)+(25+4.5+4.5)= 146Ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hey here's the answer to letter B It's 128 feet cuz p=l+l+w+w so u just get the 30 foot length and the 25 foot width and add 4.5 to each, so u get 29.5ft and 34.5ft. Then multiply each of them by 2 and add the products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO you have to add 4.5 twice to the length and width ( for the left side and right ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Tried and succeeded..... Its not as easy as I thought though.... 110 feet 146 feet...... simply add all sides of the pool (30+30+25+25) then add twice the width of the walkway around the pool to the length of each side........{[30+(4.5x2)]+[30+(4.5x2)]+[25+(4.5x2)]+[25+(4.5x2)]}=146 Illustrations could be used to make the job easier...
