Question

The side length of Tom's square garden was 72 ft. He used ½ of the garden for growing roses. What area of his garden was left? The remaining area of his garden is ft²

Answer 1

We will solve as follows:

*We calculate the area and divide it by two, that is:

`A=72^2\Rightarrow A=5184`

`\Rightarrow A_l=(5184)/(2)\Rightarrow A_l=2592`

So, the area left was 2592 squared feet.
