Answer:

72 square feet.

Explanation:

You could do this by figuring out directly how many tiles are needed to make the border B...

It is easier to find the area of the large area and subtract the white pool

Large rectangle = 18 * 9 = 162

Small rectangle = 15 * 6 = 90 Subtract

Area of border = 72
