Curly used a shovel to dig his own swimming pool. He figured he needed a pool because digging it was hard work, and he could use it to cool off after working on it all day. He also planned to build a rectangular concrete deck around the pool that would be 6 feet wide at all points. The pool is rectangular and measures 14 feet by 40 feet. What is the area of the deck?

The area of the deck that is built around the pool is 1352 ft².

What is the area of the deck?

A rectangle is a 2-dimensional quadrilateral with four right angles.  

Area of a rectangle = length x width

• Length = 14 + 6 + 6 = 26
• Width = 40 + 6 + 6 = 52

Area = 26 x 52 = 1352 ft²
