Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

1400 sqft

Explanation:

Find the area of rectangular plot and then subtract the area of the house

Answer 2

Garden area = 1400 square feet

Explanation:

Length of the plot = 60 ft

Breadth of the plot = 50 ft

Area of the plot = length * breadth = 60 * 50 = 3000 sq. ft.

Length of the house = 40 ft

Breadth of the house = 40 ft

Area of the house = length * breadth = 40 * 40 = 1600 sq. ft.

Area of the garden = area of plot - area of house = 3000 - 1600 = 1400 sq. ft.
