Q114 of 131 Page 226

A 10 m long and 4 m wide rectangular lawn is in front of a house. Along its three sides a 50 cm wide flower bed is there as shown in Fig. 9.58. Find the area of the remaining portion.

Width of flower bed = 50 cm = 0.5 m


Length of the remaining portion = 10 – (0.5 × 2) = 9 m


Breadth of the remaining portion = 4 – 0.5 = 3.5 m


Area of remaining portion = 9 × 3.5 = 31.5 m2
