You just need to multiply them together the. You'll get 2275/6 or 379 1/6 sq feet

Answer: The required area of the pool is
379(1)/(6)~\textup{sq. ft}.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a rectangular pool is
30(1)/(3) feet long and
12(1)/(2) feet wide.

We are to find the area of the pool.

We know that

the area of a rectangle with l units and width w units is given by


A=lw.

For the given rectangular pool, we have


l=30(1)/(3)=(91)/(3),\\\\\\w=12(1)/(2)=(25)/(2).

Therefore, the area of the pool is given by


A=lw=(91)/(3)*(25)/(2)=(2275)/(6)=379(1)/(6).

Thus, the required area of the pool is
379(1)/(6)~\textup{sq. ft}.
