A circular grassy region with a 72ft diameter has a 8ft by 17ft rectangular pond in its center
If a 2ft concrete border is added around the pond how many square feet of concrete will be laid?
:
The circular grassy region does not seem to have relevance to this problem
:
A 2' concrete border adds 4' to the dimensions of the pond
Overall area - pool area = concrete area
(21*12) - (17*8) =
252 - 136 = 116 sq/ft of concrete laid
