A 12-ft-by-15-ft rectangular swimming pool has a 3-ft-wide no-slip surface around it. What is the outer perimeter of the no-slip surface?.

Respuesta :

The outer perimeter of the no-slip surface is 78 feet if the swimming pool has a 3-ft-wide no-slip surface around it.

The outer perimeter of an area or land can be described as the whole of its outer edge or can be described as the sum total of the outside edge lengths.

We can find the outer perimeter of this swimming pool by adding 3 feet twice to all the sides of this rectangular swimming pool followed by the addition of these sides together.

As the swimming pool is 12-ft-by-15-ft, this represents that two sides of this rectangular swimming pool are 15 feet and the other two sides are 12 feet, therefore;

12 + 6 = 18

15 + 6 = 21

Now we can find the perimeter by the addition of all the sides as follows;

18 + 18 + 21 + 21 = 78 feet

Therefore, the outer perimeter of the no-slip surface is found to be equal to 78 feet.
