The picture below is a sketch of a picnic area with a courtyard. How much of the courtyard is available for use?

Answer 1

87 m²

Explanation:

The picnic area is the white inner rectangle, while the courtyard is the outer pink rectangle.

The area of the courtyard available for use = area of the pink rectangle - area of the white rectangle

✔️Area of the courtyard (pink rectangle) = L*W

L = 13 m

W = 7 m

Area of pink rectangle = 13*7 = 91 m²

✔️Area of the picnic (white rectangle) = L*W

L = 4 m

W = 1 m

Area = 4*1 = 4 m²

✅Area available in the courtyard for use = 91 m² - 4 m² = 87 m²
