Answer:

  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.
