Question

A swimming pool measures 50 meters by 25 meters. It will be built on a rectangular plot that is 60 meters by 35 meters. The space around the pool will have a deck. What will the area of the deck be?

Answer 1

simply find the area of the land A = 60 x 35

then find the area of the pool A = 50 x 25

the area of the deck is the difference between the 2 areas

Answer 2

Total- 2,100 m

Pool- 1,250 m

Deck- 2,100-1,250= The area of the deck will be 850 m
