The sides and bottom of a swimming pool are to be lined with vinyl to prevent it from leaking. The pool measures 6m by 4m and has a uniform depth of 2m. Calculate the area of vinyl that will be required.
Added by Brent W.
Step 1
First, we need to find the total surface area of the pool that needs to be covered with vinyl. To do this, we need to find the area of each of the four walls and the bottom of the pool separately, and then add them up. Area of the bottom of the pool = length x Show more…

A swimming pool is 55m long and 10m wide. The perpendicular depth at the deep end is 5m and at the shallow end is 1.5m, the slope from one end to the other being uniform. The inside of the pool needs two coats of a protective paint before it is filled with water. Determine how many litres of paint will be needed if 1 litre covers 10m2.
