STEP 1:
If the cover extends 1 foot all the way around, add 1 to the 15 foot diameter of the pool to find the cover's diameter.
1 + 15= 16 ft cover diameter
STEP 2:
find cover area; divide cover diameter by 2 to get radius
A= πr^2
A=(3.14)(16/2)^2
A= (3.14)(8)^2
A= (3.14)(64)
A= 200.96 feet squared
ANSWER: The cover area is 200.96 ft squared
Hope this helps! :)
