The area of the rectangle can be calculated as length x height = 33 ft x 24 ft = 792 sq ft
The area of the semicircle can be calculated as 0.5 x π x (radius^2), where the radius is half of the length of the rectangle = 0.5 x π x (33/2)^2 = 0.5 x π x 16.5^2 ≈ 0.5 x π x 272.25 ≈ 426.57 sq ft
Adding the areas of the rectangle and semicircle, we get 792 sq ft + 426.57 sq ft ≈ 1218.57 sq ft
Therefore, the measurement closest to the area of the bottom of the pool is 1218.57 sq ft.
