Each side of flower bed = 3.8 m
Area = 3.8 × 3.8
Area of flower bed before extension = 14.44 sq m
If it is extended by digging a strip of 50 cm wide all around it, then the new side will be = 3.8 + 1.0 = 4.8 m
Area of the flower bed after extension = 4.8 × 4.8 
Area of enlarged flower bed = 23.04 sq m
Increase in the area of flower bed = 23.04 - 14.44
= 8.6 sq m

dyid: But it is not the exact ans. I am confused !!!
dyid: Plzzz help me
dyid: Send me the exact question's answer
sreyasreejith123: first convert 2m into cm which is 200cm
now plus 200+80=280 so 280 is the length
and breadth=30cm

Area of rectangle=2 (l+b)
=2 (280+30)
=2(310)
=620cm
