An in-ground swimming pool is meters long, meters wide, and meters deep. The water-resistant paint needed for the pool costs $ per square meter. Step by step.
1. How many sides of the pool do you have to paint?
2. How much paint (in square meters) do you need to paint the pool?
3. How much will it cost to paint the pool?
4. How much water will the pool hold?

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume you meant to put numbers in the question, but I will answer in terms of x, y, and z, for length, width, and depth, respectively.

1. You need to pain 4 walls as well as the floor, so 5 surfaces total.

2. This question is asking for the surface area of the pool. There is 1 floor, 2 long walls and 2 wide walls.

         Surface Area = 2 (wide) + 2 (long) + 1 (floor)

                                = 2(x*z) + 2(y*z) + 1(x*y)

         *remember to answer in meters squared*

3. Total Cost = (surface area) * (cost per square meter)

         *remember this is in dollars*

4. This question is asking about the volume of the pool:

         Volume = x*y*z

where are the choices?
