Question 750749: A square yard has a 6-foot wide sidewalk around a square lawn. the sides of the yard, including the sidewalk, have length y. evaluate for y=70, the polynomial that gives the area of the sidewalk.
I have driven myself in circles on this problem. i originally found the area of the sidewalk to be 420 by multiplying 6*70 but upon further evaluation concluded that was incorrect by finding the area of the yard (70*70) to be 4900 and the area of the lawn (64*64) to be 4096 making the sidewalk take up 804 sqft of space. I am to a point where im thoroughly confused.
