Answer:
48 ft²
Explanation:
The area of the green shaded part will be :
Area of the entire rectangle green shape assumed complete minus the area of the removed parts{ small rectangle + triangle }
Area of the entire rectangle green shape assumed complete
Area= length * width
A= l*w
A= 5ft * 12 ft = 60 ft²
Area of small rectangle removed part
2 * 3 = 6 ft²
Area of the triangle removed
A= 1/2 * b * h
A= 1/2 * 3 * 4
A= 6 ft²
Area of the outdoor carpet needed for the hole
60-{6+6}
60 -12 = 48 ft²
