The area of the gym floor to be covered in blue paint is 344 square feet
here, we want to get the area of the smaller gyms to be covered in blue paint
Firstly, we need to calculate the area of the gym
As we can see, the gym is a square of 40 ft by 40 ft
We have the area as;
To get the area of the blue patches, we need to subtract the area of the 4 circles
The diameter of the two circles is 40 ft
This means that the diamter of one of the circles is 20 ft
The radius of each of the circles is half the length of the diameter which is 20/2 = 10 ft
Thus, we have to multiply the area of a single circle by 4 to get the areas of all the circles
We have this as;
The area of the blue patches is thus;
