### Conversion Factors for Problem Solving**You must use the conversion factors provided below when solving these problems.**#### Conversion Factors- 1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft) = 36 inches (in)- 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)- 1 mile = 5280 feet (ft)- 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm) = 1000 millimeters (mm)- 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)- 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers (km)- 1 yard (yd) = 0.9 meters (m)- 1 inch (in) = 2.54 centimeters (cm)- 1 pound (lb) = 0.45 kilograms (kg)### Problem1. **Resurfacing a Path Around a Swimming Pool** A rectangular swimming pool measures 14 feet by 30 feet. The pool is surrounded on all four sides by a path that is 3 feet wide. If the cost to resurface the path is $2 per square foot, what is the total cost of resurfacing the path?

pool size = 14*30 ft pool is surround by 3 feet wide path so total path area = 14*3 + 30*3 + 30*3…
