Answer:Step-by-step explanation:to find the area of the pool, subtract 6 from both the length and width of the pool plus the sidewalk. The reason to subtract 6 is 3 feet is added to each side of the pool.Therefore, the length of the pool is 31 – 6, or 25 feet.The width of the pool is 21 – 6, or 15 feet.The area of the pool is 15 * 25 or 375 square feet.
