Question

Paul built a triangular garden in his backyard, which is enclosed by a rectangular fence.

Answer 1

Answer:

$Area = 476m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

The uncovered area

First, calculate the area of the rectangle

$Area = Length * Width$

From the attachment

$Length = 25m$ and $Width = 20m$

So:

$Area = 25m * 20m$

$Area = 500m^2$

The area of the triangle is:

$Area = \frac{1}{2} * Base * Height$

From the attachment

$Base = 8m$

$Height = 6m$

So:

$Area = \frac{1}{2} * 8m * 6m$

$Area = \frac{1}{2} * 48m^2$

$Area = 24m^2$

The uncovered area is:

$Area = 500m^2 - 24m^2$

$Area = 476m^2$
