A. 700 ft^2
B. 877 ft^2
C. 966 ft^2
D. 1134 ft^2

Answer 1

Answer: C. 966

Step-by-step explanation: First find the ft. of the entire area, the deck, and pool. Then get the area of the pool

Entire area: (35+7+7) * (20+7+7)= 1666

Pool: 35*20=700

Then subtract the ft. of the entire area by the pool

1666-700= 966
