A rectangular swimming pool is 12 meters long and 6 meters wide. An area of tiles surrounds the pool, forming a complete rectangle.
This surrounding area has a width of 2 meters on each side. What is the total area of the tiled surrounding?
To find the total area of the tiled surrounding, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is given by:
$A = l \times w$,
where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.
