Question

A lawn in the shape of a rectangle is to be developed in front of a Marriage Hall. The length and breadth of the lawn are 44m and 32m. A space of 2m is left on the two shoulder sides and one longer side for flower and in the remaining area grass is laid. Calculate the area of the flower space and the area on which grass is laid.

Answer 1

The dimensions of the rectangular Park are 44 x 32.
Area of the rectangular Park
= 44 x 32
= 1408m²
The area of the rectangular Part in which grass has to be laid
= (44 - 4) x (32 - 2)
= 40 x 30
= 1200m²
The area of the Part in which flowers have to be planted 
= 1408 - 1200
= 208m².
