Answer 1

En total utilizaría 25

Answer 2

Here we can first find the area of yard and then subtract the area of vegetable garden to get the required area.

The formula to find area is given by:

$A = l* w$

Now we find area of yard:

length is 25 ft and width is 15 ft.

$A = 25 * 15$

Area of yard = 375 ft²

Area of vegetable garden:

length = 8ft and width =8ft

So the vegetable garden is a square.

Area = 8*8

Area of vegetable garden =64 ft²

Area of backyard to be laid with grass = Area of yard-Area of vegetable garden

Area required = 375 -64 = 311 ft²

Answer : The area of backyard in which grass is to be laid is 311 square feet.
