A pond is 50 meters long and 50 meters wide.
\n" ); document.write( "There is a sidewalk 5 meters wide all around the pond.
\n" ); document.write( "Tile is sold in crates of 45 square meters of tile.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw the picture of a rectangle inside a rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( "The sidewalk is 50 + 2*5 = 60 meters long on the two
\n" ); document.write( "outer sides. That area = 2(60*5) = 600 sq. meters
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The area of the other two sides is 2(50*5) = 500 sq meters
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Total area = 1100 sq meters
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "What will the tile cost be if the cost of each box of tile is $74.00?
\n" ); document.write( "# of crates needed = 1100/45 = 24.44
\n" ); document.write( "Rounded up that is 25 crates
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of 25 crates = $1850.00
