The area of the reduced backyard is 112.5 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial length of the backyard is 40.5 feet long.

The initial width of the backyard is 25 feet wide.

In order to install a pool, the yard needs to be reduced by a scale of 1/3. This means that the new length of the backyard is would be

40.5 × 1/3 = 40.5/3 feet lonng

The new width of the backyard would be

25 × 1/3 = 25/3 feet wide

The backyard is rectangular in shape. Area of a rectangle is length × width. The area of the reduced backyard becomes

40.5/3 × 25/3 = 1012.5/9 = 112.5 square feet
