Answer:

6000 yard² of area is not covered by the tent.

Explanation:

The question is "A rectangular field is 120 yards long and 53 yards wide. A tent that is 20 yards long and 18 yards wide covers part of the field. How many square yards of the field are not covered by the tent."

Given that,

Length of a rectangular field = 120 yards

Breadth of a rectangular field = 53 yards

Area of rectangular field = l×b

= 120 × 53

= 6360 yard²

Length of a tent = 20 yards

Breadth of the tent = 18 yards

Area of the tent = lb

= 20 × 18

= 360 yards²

Area not covered = 6360 yard² - 360 yards²

= 6000 yard²

So, 6000 yard² of area is not covered by the tent.
