  6. A rectangular swimming pool is drawn on a grid where each square unit represents 1 square meter. The pool has a length of 15 meters and a width of 10 meters. A concrete deck surrounds the pool, adding 3 meters to each side of the rectangle. What is the total area of the pool and deck combined in square meters? Answer: 336 Solution: The original pool has length = 15 m and width = 10 m The deck adds 3 meters to EACH side, so it adds 3 + 3 = 6 meters to both length and width New total length = 15 + 6 = 21 meters New total width = 10 + 6 = 16 meters Total area = length × width = 21 × 16 Calculate 21 × 16 = (20 × 16) + (1 × 16)…
    Full step-by-step solution

    Step 1: The original pool has length = 15 m and width = 10 m Step 2: The deck adds 3 meters to EACH side, so it adds 3 + 3 = 6 meters to both length and width Step 3: New total length = 15 + 6 = 21 meters Step 4: New total width = 10 + 6 = 16 meters Step 5: Total area = length × width = 21 × 16 Step 6: Calculate 21 × 16 = (20 × 16) + (1 × 16) = 320 + 16 = 336 Step 7: The total area of pool and deck combined is 336 square meters.
