Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the dimension of the homeowner's backyard to be width 18 yards long and length 16 yards long, the area of the rectangular backyard id expreesed as;
Area of rectangle = Length * Width
Area of the rectangular backyard = 18yards * 16yards
Area of the rectangular backyard = 288yards²
If they plan to put in a square pool with side length 5 yards long in the backyard, the area of the pool = 5yd*5yd = 25yd²
The remaining area that will contain the tiles = Area of the rectangular backyard - area of the pool
The remaining area that will contain the tiles = 288yd² - 25yd² = 263yd²
<em>Note that we cannot determine the amount of tiles they need to buy since we are not given the dimension of each tile to use</em>. The area needed for the tiles for the rest of the backyard is therefore 263yd².
Amount of tiles needed to buy can be expressed as 263/dimension of a tile.
