Solution

We have,
Length of the rectangular field = 48 m
Breadth of the rectangular field = 20 m
Area of the rectangular field = Length x Breadth = 48 m x 20 m = 960 m²

Area of one right triangular flower bed = $\frac{1}{2} \times 12 m \times 5 m = 30 m^{2}$
Therefore,

Required number of right triangular flower beds = $\frac{960 m^{2}}{30 m^{2}} = 32$
