Answer 2

Given:

The length and breadth of a swimming pool are 35 1/4 m and 16 3/4 m respectively.

To find:

The area and perimeter of a swimming pool.

Solution:

As we know that the area of a rectangle having length 'l' and breadth 'b' is given by using the formula:

$area = l \times b$

Also,

The perimeter of a rectangle

$= 2(l + b)$

Now,

as given, we have

Length of a swimming pool = 35 1/4 m

The breadth of a swimming pool = 16 3/4 m

So, the area of the swimming pool

$= 35 \frac{1}{4} \times 16 \frac{3}{4}$

$= \frac{141}{4} \times \frac{67}{4}$

$= \frac{9447}{16}$

$= 590.43 \: {m}^{2}$

Now,

the perimeter of a swimming pool

$= 2( \frac{141}{4} + \frac{67}{4} )$

$= \frac{208}{2}$

$= 104 \: m$

Hence, the area and perimeter of a swimming pool are 590.43 square meters and 104 m respectively.
