Answer:
16,506 ft²
Explanation:
There are different ways you can divide the area using rectangles and circles. One way is to find the area of the entire width and length, then subtract the empty areas in the corners.
If we take the empty areas and put them together, we find their area is the area of a square minus the area of a circle.
A = (2r)² − πr²
A = 4r² − πr²
A = (4 − π) r²
So the area of the rink is:
A = WL − (4 − π) r²
A = (85)(200) − (4 − π) (24)²
A ≈ 16,506 ft²
