Algebra.Com's Answer #409985 by chriswen(106)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " |
