Question

Varun is planning a rectangular flowerbed of size 30 mx 20 m in such a way that it has a
rectangular pond of size 3m x 2m in the middle. He wishes to plant Rose, Jasmine, Lily
and Sunflower as shown in the figure. Find the area of the portion in which he wishes to
plant Sunflower
(See Lesson 20)
(Hint: Diagonals of Rectangle divide the area in four equal parts)
Jasmine
Rose
Lily
Sunflower​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of the flowerbed is 600 m^2

30 x 20 = 600 m^2

subtract 3 x 2 m because of the pond

600 - 6 = 594 m^2

divide by 4 for how much each plant takes up

594/4 = 148.5 m^2

each plant need 148.5 m^2
