Answer:
Wood needed to build deck = 442.86 feet² (Approx.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Diameter of pool = 16 feet
Dimensions of rectangular deck = 28 feet by 23 feet
Find:
Wood needed to build deck
Computation:
Radius of pool = Diameter of pool / 2
Radius of pool = 16 / 2 = 8 feet
Wood needed to build deck = Area of rectangle deck – Area of circular pool
Wood needed to build deck = [l x b] – πr²
Wood needed to build deck = [28 x 23] – [22/7][8]²
Wood needed to build deck = 644 – [22/7][64]
Wood needed to build deck = 644 – 201.14
Wood needed to build deck = 442.86 feet² (Approx.)
