Adeck is being built around a rectangular swimming pool the swimming pool is 20ft * 12ft and the deck has a uniform width of 6 ft what is the area of the deck only

The area of the only deck is 528 ft²

Explanation

The length and width of the swimming pool are 20 ft and 12 ft respectively.

So, the area of the swimming pool

Now a deck is being built around the pool and it has a uniform width of 6 ft.

So, the length of the pool including the deck and the width of the pool including the deck

Thus, the area of the pool including the deck

So, the area of the deck only

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
