To find the area of the swimming pool, we need to calculate the area of each individual shape in the diagram and then add them together.
The swimming pool consists of a rectangle with dimensions 8 yards by 4 yards, and a semicircle with a radius of 4 yards.
Area of rectangle = length x width
Area of rectangle = 8 yards x 4 yards
Area of rectangle = 32 square yards
Area of semicircle = (1/2) x π x r^2
Area of semicircle = (1/2) x 3.14 x 4 yards x 4 yards
Area of semicircle = 6.28 x 4 square yards
Area of semicircle = 25.12 square yards
Total area = area of rectangle + area of semicircle
Total area = 32 square yards + 25.12 square yards
Total area = 57.12 square yards
Therefore, the area of the swimming pool is approximately 57.12 square yards. Since none of the given options match this exactly, the closest option is 56 square yards.
