Question

Five square flower beds each of sides 1 𝑚 are dug on a piece of land 5 𝑚 long and 4 𝑚 wide. What is the area of the remaining part of the land?

Answer 1

The side of square bed = 1 m.

Area of square bed = side$\times$side = 1 m$\times$1 m = 1 $m^2$.

$\therefore$ Area of 5 square beds = 1$\times$5 = 5 $m^2$.

Now, Length of land = 5 m.

Breadth of land = 4 m.

$\therefore$ Area of land = length$\times$breadth.

= 5 m$\times$4 m = 20 $m^2$.

Area of remaining part = Area of land - Area of 5 flower beds.

= 20 $m^2-5m^2=15m^2$.
