Gotta have this finished in an hour and idk how to do this help

Your parents have finally decided to install an in-ground pool! They come to you for help. They are deciding between a circular pool with a 30-foot diameter and a 16 ft x 40 ft rectangular pool. The circular pool would have a 4-foot walkway all the way around it, and the rectangular pool would have a 3-foot walkway all the way around it. The backyard measures 75 feet by 50 feet.

Calculations for the area of the circular pool with the 4-foot walkway.
Calculations for the area of the rectangular pool with the 3-foot walkway.
Calculations for determining how much grassy area is available with the circular pool.

Area_(circle)=\pi r^(2)

Area_(circle) = \pi (pool+walkway)^(2)

Area_(circle) = \pi ((30)/(2)+4)^(2)

Area_(circle) = \pi (19)^(2)

Area_(circle) = \pi (19)^(2)=361 \pi \approx 1134.11


Area_(rectangle)=lw

Area_(rectangle)=(l_(pool)+2(walkway))*(w_(pool)+2(walkway))

Area_(rectangle)=(16+2(3))*(40+2(3))

Area_(rectangle)=22*46

Area_(rectangle)=1012


Area_(yard)=lw=75*50=3750

With round:

Area_(GrassAvailable)=A_(yard)-A_(circle)

Area_(GrassAvailable)=3750-1134.11=2615.89

With rectangle:

Area_(GrassAvailable)=A_(yard)-A_(rectangle)

Area_(GrassAvailable)=3750-1012=2738
