Answer:
241.5 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the area of the deck. A = LW. L = 20, W = 16.
20 x 16 = 320.
Now that we have found the area of the deck, let's find the area of the garden. A = [tex]r^{2} \pi[/tex]. r = 5.
A = (pi)5^2
A = 25(pi) pi = 3.14
A = 78.5
Since the deck will not cover the garden, we must subtract the area of the garden from the total area of the deck.
320 - 78.5 = 241.5
