Answer: Hannah will pay $5,936.

Explanation:

Given: Length of pool = 30 feet

Width of pool = 15 feet

Area of pool = Length x Width = 30 feet x 15 feet

= 450 square feet

The patio will be 4 feet wide on each side of the pool.

i.e. Length of patio included pool = 30+4+4 = 38 feet

Width of patio included pool = 15+4+4 = 23 feet

Area of patio included pool = 38 feet x 23 feet

= 874 square feet

Area of patio = (Area of patio included pool ) - (Area of pool)

= (874 - 450) sq. feet

= 424 square feet

Rate = $14.00 per square foot

Cost for stone patio = Rate x Area of patio

= $ ( 14.00 x 424)

= $ 5,936

Hence, Hannah will pay $5,936.
