The above diagram shows a rectangular home within a rectangular yard. What is the area of the yard?
The above diagram shows a rectangular home within a rectangular yard. What is the area of the yard?
The area of the yard is the area of the smaller rectangle subtracted from that of the larger rectangle. The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and its height, so the larger rectangle has area
square feet,
and the smaller rectangle has area
square feet.
Subtract to get the area of the yard:
square feet.
