Lets say the original pool is l*w*h.
\n" ); document.write( "New pool is 2l*2w*h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) the SA of bottom is the length times width.
\n" ); document.write( "Original Pool = l*w
\n" ); document.write( "New pool = 2l*2w = 4*l*w
\n" ); document.write( "FALSE\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) 4 walls is length times base times two. Added with width times base times two.
\n" ); document.write( "ORiginal Pool = l*b*2 + w*b*2
\n" ); document.write( "New Pool = 2l*b*2 + 2w*b*2 = 2(l*b*2 + w*b*2)
\n" ); document.write( "TRUE\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c) Area of pool is length times width times base.
\n" ); document.write( "Original Pool = l*w*b
\n" ); document.write( "New Pool = 2l*2w*b = 4*l*w*b
\n" ); document.write( "FALSE\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The correct answer is b)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
