Cevap
The area of the concrete deck is square feet.
To find the area of the concrete deck, we must calculate the area of the large circle (pool plus deck) and subtract the area of the small circle (pool). First, find the radius of the large circle by dividing its circumference by : . Its area is . Next, find the radius of the pool: . Its area is . Finally, subtract the inner area from the outer area: .
