Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

  • A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 50 feet.
  • Swimming pool is centered in a fenced square region measuring 90 by 90 feet.
  • A concrete sidewalk of 5 feet wide encircles the pool.

a)

The surface area of the water can be calculated as,

Swater=πd124Here, d1 is the diameter of the inner circle whose value is 50 feet.          =π50 feet24          =1962.5 ft2

Hence, the surface area of the water is 1962.5 ft2.
