Use the Read Draw-Write process to solve the problem. 8 cm 2. Ray has a rectangular swimming pool in his backyard that is 4 meters wide and 5 m The backyard is 9 meters wide and 10 meters long. What is the area of the backyard that is not covered by the swimming pool?

Step 1: Read the problem.  • Ray’s backyard is rectangular, 9 meters wide and 10 meters long.  • His swimming pool is rectangular, 4 meters wide and 5 meters long.  • We need to find the area of the backyard that is not covered by the swimming pool. Step 2: Draw the situation.  • Draw a large rectangle to represent the backyard. Label its dimensions: 9 m (width) and 10 m (length).  • Inside the backyard, draw a smaller rectangle for the swimming pool. Label its dimensions: 4 m and 5 m.  • The area outside the pool but inside the backyard is what we need to calculate. Step 3: Write the calculations.  1. Calculate the area of the backyard:   Area_backyard = length × width = 10 m × 9 m = 90 square meters.  2. Calculate the area of the swimming pool:   Area_pool = length × width = 5 m × 4 m = 20 square meters.  3. Find the area of the backyard not covered by the pool by subtracting:   Area_not_covered = Area_backyard − Area_pool = 90 m² − 20 m² = 70 m². Final Answer: The area of the backyard not covered by the swimming pool is 70 square meters.
