You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We begin by converting the dimensions to inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12 feet = 12*12 \" = 144\"
\n" ); document.write( "22 feet =22*12 \" = 364\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the total needed is their product: 364*144 = 52416\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we need 52416 tiles for a rectangular pool with these dimensions
\n" ); document.write( "but for an oval (elliptical) pool
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%0D%0AA=pi%2A%28l%2F2%29%28w%2F2%29=pi%2A%28+364%2A144%29%2F4=41167.4%0D%0A\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so use 41168 tiles\r
\n" ); document.write( "
