What is area?

An object's area is how much space it takes up in two dimensions. It is the measurement of the quantity of unit squares that completely cover the surface of a closed figure. The square unit, which is frequently expressed as square inches, square feet, etc., is the accepted unit of area.

The word "area" refers to a free space. A shape's length and width are used to compute its area.

Length of swimming pool=18 m

Width of swimming pool=8 m

Area of swimming pool= 18*8 = 144$m^{2}$

Width of patio=3m

Total length of swimming pool=18+2(3)=24 m

Total width of swimming pool=8+2(3)=14 m

Total area=24*14=336 $m^{2}$

Area of patio= total area - Area of swimming pool

                     =336-144

                     =192 $m^{2}$
