Answers

  1. Total fence required for the swimming pool = 49m
    Given,
    Swimming pool Length: 11.5m
    Width of swimming pool : 5m
    Perimeter of rectangle : 2(L+W)
    fence erect: 2m from the edged
    Then fencing is erected 2m from the edge,
    New Length :
    11.5 m + 2 m + 2m = 15.5 m
    New Width :
    5 m + 2m + 2m = 9m.
    Total required fencing = 2(L+B)
    = 2(15.5 + 9)
    = 2(24.5)
    = 49m
    Hence, Total fence required for the swimming pool is 49m.
