Solution

Given, dimensions of rectangular lawn $= 10 m \times 4 m$ and width of flower bed = 50 cm

Length of remaining portion, $E F = A B - (50 \times 2 c m)$
$= 10 m - 100 c m = 10 m - 1 m = 9 m$ $[∵ 1 c m = \frac{1}{100} m]$
Breadth of remaining portion, EH = AD - 50 cm = 4m - 0.5 m = 3.5
$∴$ Required area = Area of portion $E F G H = E F \times E H = 9 \times 3.5 = 31.5 m^{2}$

Given, dimensions of rectangular lawn =10 m×4 m and width of flower bed = 50 cm Length of remaining portion, EF=AB−(50×2cm) =10 m−100 cm=10m−1m=9 m [∵1cm=1100m] Breadth of remaining portion, EH = AD - 50 cm = 4m - 0.5 m = 3.5 ∴ Required area = Area of portion EFGH=EF×EH=9×3.5=31.5 m2
