Question 536852: A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 50 feet and is centered in a fenced-in square region measuring 90 feet by 90 feet. A concrete sidewalk 5 feet wide encircles the pool, and the rest of the region is grass, as shown. Find the area of the grass. Use

The diameter of the pool is 50 feet. The walk (circular) around it is 5 feet. That means there is a circle with 55 feet diameter that isn't grass.


Use pi=22/7.
The radius (r) of a circle is 1/2 the diameter = 1/2 * d.
The area of a circle is


A(square)=s*s.


For the given square that's


The grass is the A(square) - A(circle) = 8100-2376.79=5723.21 square feet.


Not sure what the problem indicated you should use as pi. The answer will be slightly different if 3.14159 is used.
