a pool that measures 25 meters by 17 meters.
placed a fence around the pool and left 8 meters between the fence. how much fencing will be needed
:
The amt fencing equal the overall perimeter, which include the 8' border
:
An 8 ft border all around the pool will add 16 ft to each dimension, therefore
p = 2(25+16) + 2(17+16)
p = 2(41) + 2(33)
P = 82 + 66
p = 148 ft fencing required
