To find the area of the swimming pool, first calculate the area of each portion separately and then add them together.
The rectangular portion has dimensions of 5 yards by 4 yards, so the area of the rectangular portion is 5 yards x 4 yards = 20 square yards.
The circular portion has a radius of 3 yards, so the area of the circular portion is πr² = π(3)² = 9π square yards.
Now add the areas of both portions together: 20 square yards + 9π square yards ≈ 20 square yards + 28.27 square yards ≈ 48.27 square yards.
Therefore, the area of the swimming pool is approximately 48.27 square yards. None of the multiple choice options match exactly, but the closest is 44 square yards.
