Answer:
Area for vegetable = 4900 square ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The garden is a rectangle . According to the question the length of the garden is 100 ft and the width is 50 ft. The portion of area devoted to herb is 10 ft by 10 ft. That means the area devoted to herbs is a square. The area devoted for vegetable can be computed when one subtract area for herbs from the area of the garden.
Area of the rectangle garden = length × width
length = 100 ft
width = 50 ft
Area of the rectangle garden = 100 × 50
Area of the rectangle garden = 5000 square ft
Area devoted for herbs (square) = length²
length = 10 ft
Area devoted for herbs (square) = 10²
Area devoted for herbs (square) = 10 × 10
Area devoted for herbs (square) = 100 square ft
Area for vegetable = Area of garden - Area for herbs
Area for vegetable = 5000 - 100
Area for vegetable = 4900 square ft
