The answer to the equation is 5 7/15
Area of the shaded region to be covered with grass is 204 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Area of the shaded region can be found by finding the total area and subtracting the area of the lap pool.
Total area = Area of the trapezium = 1/2 × (Sum of parallel sides) × distance between them
Sum of parallel sides = 25 yd + (3 + 12) = 40 yd
Distance between them = 12 yd
⇒ Total area = 1/2 × 40 × 12 = 240 yd²
- Step 2: Find the area of the lap pool.
Area = length × width = 12 × 3 = 36 yd²
- Step 3: Find the area of the shaded region
Area to be covered with grass = 240 - 36 = 204 yd²
The answer for the question is 17/18
