Answer:
864 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
- First calculate the total area of the rectangular field
The area of a rectangle is given by the product of the length and the width
let A be the total area
A = 100*120
A = 12000 m²
Calculate the area of the small rectangles
- Let A' be the total area of the four small rectangles and A" the area of one small rectangle
- A' = 4 A"
- A' = 4 [(
)*(
)]
- A' = 4*58*48
- A' = 11136 m²
- Substract the A' from A to get the area of the road
Let A"' be the area of the road
A"' =A-A'
A"' = 12000-11136
A"' = 864 m²
