Question

Elena’s backyard is in the shape of a rectangle. She created a triangular-shaped flower bed (shown as the shaded region) to plant flowers in. The area of the triangular flower bed is square feet. The area of her backyard that does not include the flower bed is square feet.

Answer 1

125 for the backyard with the flower bed, and the backyard that does not include the flower bed is 575 square feet :)

Answer 2

Area of background without flower bed = 575 feet²

Explanation:

Given:

Length of rectangle ground = 35 feet

Width of rectangle ground = 20 feet

Height of triangle bed = 10 feet

Base of triangle bed = 25 feet

Find:

Area of background without flower bed

Computation;

Area of background without flower bed = Area of rectangle - Area of triangle

Area of background without flower bed = [l x b] - (1/2)(b)(h)

Area of background without flower bed = [35 x 20] - (1/2)(25)(10)

Area of background without flower bed = 700 - 125

Area of background without flower bed = 575 feet²
