Question

The front yard of a house is 80 feet long and 50 feet wide. The backyard of the house is 50 feet long and 40 feet wide. What is the difference in area between the front yard and backyard?

Answer 1

The front yard has a dimension of 80 ft x 50 ft
So the area will be

Area = 80 X 50
Area = 4,000 ft^2

The backyard has a dimension of 50 ft x 40 ft
So the area will be

Area = 50 x 40
Area = 2,000 ft^2

So the area difference is 4000-2000 = 2000 ft^2
