A swimming pool is 25 meters x 15 meters. A concrete walk 2 meters is built around it. What is the area of a concrete walk?

outer dimensions would be 29 by 19 metres.

so area of walk
= 29(19) - 25(15)
= ...

To find the area of the concrete walk around the swimming pool, you need to subtract the area of the swimming pool from the area of the pool including the walkway. Here's how you can calculate it:

1. Calculate the area of the pool: The swimming pool is given to be 25 meters by 15 meters. So, to find the area, multiply the length by the width: 25 meters * 15 meters = 375 square meters.

2. Calculate the area of the pool including the walkway: To find the area including the walkway, you need to add 2 meters to both the length and the width of the pool. This accounts for the walkway on all sides. So, the length becomes 25 meters + 2 meters + 2 meters = 29 meters, and the width becomes 15 meters + 2 meters + 2 meters = 19 meters.

3. Calculate the area of the pool including the walkway: To find the area, multiply the new length by the new width: 29 meters * 19 meters = 551 square meters.

4. Calculate the area of the concrete walkway: Subtract the area of the pool from the area of the pool including the walkway: 551 square meters - 375 square meters = 176 square meters.

Therefore, the area of the concrete walkway is 176 square meters.
