The section used to grow the other vegetables is
\(52 \, \text{m}^2\).



To find the area of the section used to grow the other vegetables, you'll need to subtract the area of the lettuce section from the total area of the garden.

1. **Calculate the area of the entire garden:**


\[ \text{Area of garden} = \text{length} * \text{width} \] \[ \text{Area of garden} = 8.4 \, \text{m} * 6.4 \, \text{m} \] \[ \text{Area of garden} = 53.76 \, \text{m}^2 \]

2. **Calculate the area of the lettuce section:**


\[ \text{Area of lettuce section} = \text{length} * \text{width} \] \[ \text{Area of lettuce section} = 2.2 \, \text{m} * 0.8 \, \text{m} \] \[ \text{Area of lettuce section} = 1.76 \, \text{m}^2 \]

3. **Subtract the area of the lettuce section from the total garden area:**


\[ \text{Area of other vegetables} = \text{Area of garden} - \text{Area of lettuce section} \] \[ \text{Area of other vegetables} = 53.76 \, \text{m}^2 - 1.76 \, \text{m}^2 \] \[ \text{Area of other vegetables} = 52 \, \text{m}^2 \]

Therefore, the section used to grow the other vegetables is
\(52 \, \text{m}^2\).

The probable question can be: An Uncommon school grows lettuce and other vegetables for school lunches. The school garden is a rectangle that is 8.4 meters long and 6.4 meters wide. The rectangular section used to grow lettuce is 2.2 meters long and 0.8 meter wide. How big, in square meters, is the section that is used to grow the other vegetables?
