    Area
    70*110-20*35
    7700-700
    7000 sq ft

    keys*
    P-perimeter
    A-area
    L-length
    W-width
    ————————————

    P=2L + 2w
    360=2L + 140
    L=110

    A=L x W
    A of back yard=110*70=7700 ft.^2
    A of pool=20*35=700 ft^2

    (A of back yard) minus (A of Pool)= A of region not including pool

    A of region not including pool = 7700-700=7000 ft^2

    20 x 35 = 700 (area of the pool)
    110 x 70 = 7700 (area of the whole back yard)

    7700 - 700 = 7000 (area oof whole backyard - area of pool =’s area of the backyard not including the pool)

    answer = 7000

    Area of pool = 20 x 35 = 700 ft^2

    Perimeter of yard = 2 * (L + W) = 360 = 2 * (L + 70)

    360/2 = 2/2 * (L + 70)

    180 = L + 70

    L + 110 ft

    Area of yard = 110 * 70 = 7700 ft^2

    Area minus pool = 7700 - 700 = 7000 Ft^2
