Answer:

128 sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outer sides of the walkway will have a length of 20 feet and the breadth will be 16 feet

The area of the pool along with the walkway will be 20 × 16 = 320 square feet.

Area of the pool without the walkway will be 16 × 12 = 192 square feet.

Therefore area of the walkway will be

352 - 216 = 128 square feet.
