Question

Your backyard is 60 feet long and 50 feet wide. You install a circular pool with a 10-foot radius. What is the area of the backyard, in square feet, that can be planted with grass? Round your answer to the nearest whole number (Area of a rectangle = base x height) (Area of a circle = 3.14 x (radius) ^2)

Answer 1

2686

Explanation:

First let's find the area of the garden.

`60 * 50 = 3000ft {}^(2)`

Now let's find the area of the pool.

`3.14 * 10 {}^(2)`

`3.14 * 100 = 314ft {}^(2)`

Lastly subtract both products.

`3000 - 314 = 2686`
