On a rectangular plot of land with sides of 50m and 30m, they want to place a rectangular pool with a length of 20m and a width of 7m. What part of the area of the entire plot will be occupied by the pool?

Let’s find the area of a rectangular area as the product of the lengths of the sides.

Such = 50 * 30 = 1500 m2.

Find the pool area.

20 * 7 = 140 m2.

Let’s make a proportion, denoting by x the part of the site occupied by the pool.

1500 m2 is 1;

140 m2 is x.

x = 140/1500 = 7/75 part.

Answer: the pool will occupy 7/75 of the land area.
