Answer: 829.44 ft²
Explanation:
Correction - The walkway is 31.2 feet wide.
To solve this, first find the area of the fountain:
Area of a square = Length * Width
= 12 * 12
= 144 ft²
The find the area of the walkway including the fountain:
= 31.2 * 31.2
= 973.44 ft²
To find the area of the walkway alone, subtract the area of the square from the area of the rectangle:
= 973.44 - 144
= 829.44 ft²
