Question 1 A landscape architect is designing a pool that has this top view:

a. How much water will be needed to fill this pool 4 feet deep?
b. Before filling up the pool, it gets lined with a plastic liner. How much liner is needed for this pool?

Water needed for pool = 486 cubic feet

Plastic liner required for the pool = 298.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Top view of the pool is a composite figure, having one rectangle and a trapezoid.

1). Water needed for the pool = volume of the pool

Volume of the pool = Area of the base × Depth

                               = (Area of the rectangle + Area of the trapezoid)× depth  

Area of the trapezoid =

                                    =

                                    = 105 ft²

Area of the rectangle = Length × width

                                    = 11 × 1.5

                                    = 16.5 ft²

Now, volume of the pool = (105 + 16.5) × 4

                                          = 121.5 × 4

                                          = 486 cubic feet

b). Liner required = surface area of the pool excluding top

                             = Surface area of the walls + Area of the pool base

                             = (Perimeter of the pool) × depth + area of the base

                             = (12 + 11 + 1.5 + 10.7 + 9)×4 + 121.5

                             = 176.8 + 121.5

                             = 298.3 square feet

Therefore, amount of water required = 486 cubic feet

liner needed = 298.3 square feet
