Question

You have a rectangular yard that measures 16 feet long 14 feet wide. It is covered in grass except for the center, where there is a circular fountain with a diameter of 4 feet. What is the area of the grass portion of your yard? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. is it (a) 131.43 ft.² (b) 173.74 ft² (c) 211.43 ft² (d) 263.74 ft²

Answer 1

the entire square of your yard is equal to 16*14
16*14=224 square feet
you have to find the area of the fountain and subtract it from the total yard to get just the area with grass
pi*2^2
pi*4=12.57 feet squared
224-12.57= C. 211.43 feet squared of grassy area
