The area of the circular pool,
, can be calculated using the formula
, where
is the radius of the pool. Since the diameter of the pool is 10 feet, the radius is half of that, which is 5 feet. Therefore, the area of the pool is:

The area of the square,
, can be calculated using the formula
, where
is the side length of the square. In this case, the side length is 15 feet. Therefore, the area of the square is:

To find the area of the deck,
, we subtract the area of the pool from the area of the square:

Substituting the calculated values:

Simplifying:

Using
:

Finally, evaluating the expression:

Therefore, the area of the deck that surrounds the pool is 146.5 square feet.
