Solve the following problem. A town has a swimming pool shaped as in the diagram. What is the area of the swimming pool in square yards?
7 yd
3 yd
3 yd
8 yd
A.56 square units
B. 65 square units
C. 30 square units
D. 44 square units
To find the area of the swimming pool, we need to break down the shape into two rectangles and a right triangle.
Rectangle 1: 7 yards by 3 yards = 21 square yards
Rectangle 2: 3 yards by 8 yards = 24 square yards
Triangle: (1/2) * 3 yards * 4 yards = 6 square yards
Total area = 21 + 24 + 6 = 51 square yards
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed. The closest answer is D. 44 square units.
