Solution

To find the area of the swimming pool, you need to consider the surface area of the pool's bottom, as the area typically refers to a two-dimensional surface. Here are the steps:

  1. Identify the dimensions of the pool's bottom:

    • Length: 35 feet
    • Width: 25 feet
  2. Use the formula for the area of a rectangle: Area=Length×Width \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}

  3. Substitute the given values into the formula: Area=35feet×25feet \text{Area} = 35 \, \text{feet} \times 25 \, \text{feet}

  4. Calculate the result: Area=875square feet \text{Area} = 875 \, \text{square feet}

So, the area of the pool's bottom is 875 square feet.
