Answer: 21,875 sqm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Find the gross area of the garden.

Square 150m = 22,500 sqm.

Step 2:

Find the area of the pool.

Square 25m = 625 sqm.

Step 3:

Subtract the area of the pool from the gross area of the garden

to find the net area of the garden.

22,500 - 625 = 21,875 sqm.

Warning:

Do not subtract the side length of the swimming pool from the side length

of the garden before squaring.
