Martha will build a pool in her backyard. She wants the pool to have a rectangular shape and to be five meters long and three meters wide. What would the area in Martha's backyard that will be lost due to the construction of the pool? There are 3.28084 feet in
one meter.

A 15 square feet
B 80.729 square feet
C 161.459 square feet
D 322.918 square feet

9514 1404 393

  C.  161.459 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In feet, the dimensions of the pool are ...

  (5 m)(3.28084 ft/m) = 16.4042 ft

  (3 m)(3.28084 ft/m) = 9.84252 ft

Then the area of the pool is ...

  (16.4042 ft)(9.84252 ft) = 161.458666584 square feet

  about 161.459 square feet

Additional comment

If you consider that a square meter is slightly less than 11 square feet, the pool area can be estimated to be (5 m)(3 m)(11 ft²/m²) = 165 ft². This is close enough to point you to the correct answer choice.

step-by-step explanation:

here's what happens:

1) the graph of f   = x^2 is shifted 2 units to the right.

2) the resulting graph is reflected in the x-axis, so that the parabola now opens down.

3) this final result is transformed up by 5 units.
