how;;;help I dont get this math question!!!?

joerigg is correct. since the deck goes all the way around the pool, there is 2 feet extra on each side for a total of 4 feet each side. (10+4)x(20+4)=336-200 for pool=136.

The anserw is 132 square ft. think about it. two sides are going to be 14 ft x 2 ft. and 2 sides will be 20 ft x 2ft so 14x2=28x2=56 20x2=40x2=80 so 56+80=132 square ft.

the reson children and teens are taught stiff like this is so they learn how to problem solve srry about the spelling :/

thats just a really stupid question I mean seriously when are people gonna need that info..

im a builder by trade and never used this rubbish.

Pool is 10X20=200sq ft Deck is 14X24=336 sq ft - 200 sq ft for the pool = 136 sq ft Remember it is 2 feet added to each of 4 sides,

the area of the pool = length x width

                                =20x10
                                =200

area of pool with decking = (20+2)x(10+2)

                                          =12x22
                                          =264

area of decking =264-200

                         =64 feet squared

hold on I dont get this… thats a stupid question cus how can you find ‘what the area of the deck that surrounds the pool is?’ with only knowing its 2 feet wide :S

the area of the pool is 200 with 10x20

the total area size with the deck surround is 12x22=264

I cant tell you the answer to that question without another number to times the deck surround with :S

im crap at maths

thts the sucky part it dosnt come with a pic

lol I like the ‘’im stupid part’’ :L

you have to times them, or if yu have it on paper or something you should try and work it out from a picture that usually comes with it.

shit well I already turned it in sooo everyone can stop ansering :)

so its 64 because the total area is 264 and the pool area is 200 so 264-200= 64!! haha thanks!!!
