Question

Tina wants to install a square hot tub in her backyard.The backyard is 10 feet by 5o feet,and the hot tub will be 8 feet by 8 feet .what is the area of the backyard that will not be covered the hot tub

Answer 1

436 feet will not be covered by the hot tub.

Explanation:

If the backyard is 10 feet by 50 feet (I am assuming that you meant 50, not 5o), then you would use the area formula.

A = L * W Area equals length times width

A = 10 * 50

A = 500 ft

Now let's find the area of the hot tub

A = L * W

A = 8 * 8

A = 64 ft

This means 64 feet of the backyard will be covered by the hot tub, but you must find the area NOT covered. To do this, subtract the two areas.

500 -- 64 = 436 ft

This means 436 feet of Tina's backyard will not be covered by the hottub.
