Question

Ramu’s father had a rectangular plot of length 60 ft. and breadth 50 ft. He built a house occupying length 40 ft. ofthepoltand breadth 40 ft. and in the remaining area he planted a garden. Can you help Ramu to find out the area of his garden?

Answer 1

The Area of Rectangular plot 

A = L1 × B1 Here 

L1 = 60ft, 

B1 = 50ft 

A1 = L1 × B1 = 60ft × 50ft = 3000 square feet. 

The Area of house 

A2 = L2 × B2 

Here L2 = 40ft, 

B2 = 40ft 

A2 = L2 × B2 = 40ft × 40ft = 1600 square feet 

The remaining area 

A3 = A1 – A2 = 3000 – 1600 = 1400s 

feet A3 = 14 × B2 = 40ft × 40ft = 1600 square feet 

The remaining area 

A3 = A1 – A2 = 3000 – 1600 = 1400s feet A3 = 1400 Square feet. 

So the area planned for garden = 1400 square feet.
