Question

The perimeter of a square garden is 48m. A small flowerbed covers 18 sq. meter area inside the garden. What is the area of the garden not covered by the flowerbed? What is the fraction of area covered by the flowerbed?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: 4s = 48 so, side = 12m

                               

                                             area = s^2 = 144m^2

                                                      144/18 = no. of flowerbeds

                                                      = 8

Answer 2

hey mate here is your answer:

Given:

Perimeter of square=48 m

$= > 4a = 48$

$= > a = 12m$

where 'a' is side of square;

Area covered by flower bed=18m²,

Area not covered(area)=Area of garden-area covered by flower bed

$area = a {}^{2} - 18$

$= > area = (12) {}^{2} - 18$

$area = (144 - 18)m {}^{2 } = 126m {}^{2}$

Now,

Fraction of area covered by flower bed=

$\frac{area \: of \: flower \: bed}{area \: of \: garden}$

$= \frac{18}{144}$

$= \frac{1}{8}$

Fraction=1/8(answer)
