Answer 1

Answer:

68 meters squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key is to calculate the total area and then subtract the areas of the two identifiable shapes (triangle and trapezium) to find area of the lawn.

The first one is a triangle. We know the formula for area of triangle is: 0.5 multiplied by base and height which comes out to be 0.5*8*3=12 meters squared.

The second shape is a trapezium for which the formula is (A+B)*height/2 which comes out to be (5+7)*10/2=60 meters squared.

Total area is 14*10=140 meters squared.

So, area of lawn will be 140-(60+12) which is equal to 68.
