Question 248325: A rectangular pool has a width of 10 feet and a length of 20 feet. The deck that surrounds the pool is 2 feet wide. What is the area of the deck that surrounds the pool? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The pool has dimensions of 10ft and 20 feet
We are not asked for the area of the pool but the area of the deck that surrounds the pool
This involves getting the area of 12*22 of the deck +pool and subtracting 10*20 area of the pool from it.
