Answer:
Part a) The area of the pool is [tex]320\ m^{2}[/tex]
Part b) The area of the pool and the walkway is [tex]520\ m^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the rectangle is equal to
[tex]A=LW[/tex]
where
L is the length side
W is the width side
Part a) What is the area of the pool?
we have
[tex]L=20\ m[/tex]
[tex]W=16\ m[/tex]
substitute the values
[tex]A=(20)(16)=320\ m^{2}[/tex]
Part b) What is the area of the pool and the walkway?
we have
[tex]L=26\ m[/tex]
[tex]W=22\ m[/tex]
substitute the values
[tex]A=(26)(22)=520\ m^{2}[/tex]
