An 8.5-meter-wide pool is 4.5 times longer than it is wide. If you were to swim diagonally across it six times, how far would you travel in total? Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
Added by Brittany R.
Step 1
The pool is 4.5 times longer than it is wide. Given that the width is 8.5 meters, calculate the length as follows: Length = 4.5 × Width = 4.5 × 8.5 = 38.25 meters. Show more…
