George plans to cover his circular pool for the upcoming winter season. the pool has a diameter of 20 feet and the cover extends 12 inches beyond the edge of the pool. a rope runs along the edge of the cover to secure it in place. a. what is the area of the pool cover? b. what is the length of the rope? you must show all of your work to receive credit

Area of Pool cover: 110.25π

Length of rope: 21π

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a circle the formula is πr^2.

1. take 10.5, which is half of the diameter and multiply it by itself then multiply by pi(π). Answer is 110.25π

To find the length of the rope(circumference) the formula is 2πr.

1. Take r, which we established as 10.5 then multiply it by 2, which is 21. Then multiply by π. Answer is 21π

If ur teacher wants you to use 3.14 as pi then these are your answers:

Area of Pool cover: 346.185, round up to 346.19 if needed

Length of rope: 65.94
