ans - option 4.

first find the perimeter:

70 + 70 + 30 + 30 = 140 + 60 = 200

expression for tiles:

we know that the area of the tiled floor will extend through all 4 sides of the rectangular pool, so we would multiply w^2 (an area of 1 side) by 4 which is 4w^

therefore, the answer is 4w^2 + 200w. Option 4.
