diagram of these question ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the pool = l×b=20×8.7=174sq.m

length of the pool outside=20+(2×1.8)=20+3.6=23.6m

Breath of the pool outside =8.7+(2×1.8)=8.7+3.6=12.3m

Area of the pool with the path =l×b=23.6×12.3=290.28sq.m

Area of the path =Area of the pool with the path - area of the pool

=(290.28-174)=116.28sq.m
