Hi i just need help on this quick question, ty :)

A deck is being built around a rectangular swimming pool. The swimming pool is 35 ft x 20 ft and the deck has a uniform width of 7 ft. What is the area of the deck only?

A. 700 ft^2
B. 877 ft^2
C. 966 ft^2
D. 1134 ft^2

Answer: C. 966

Step-by-step explanation: First find the ft. of the entire area, the deck, and pool. Then get the area of the pool

Entire area: (35+7+7) * (20+7+7)= 1666

Pool: 35*20=700

Then subtract the ft. of the entire area by the pool

1666-700= 966
