Answer:

7739.44 square yards

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the square plot = 105 yards

Area of square plot =
2x^2

Length of rectangular plot is same as square plot.

Area of the rectangular plot =
x^2-30x

Now, we know that, area of square is equal to the square of its length.

Therefore, the area of square is given as:


Area\ of\ square=(length)^2\\\\2x^2=105^2\\\\2x^2=11025\\\\x^2=(11025)/(2)\\\\x=√(5512.5)=74.25\ yd

Now, area of rectangular field =
x^2-30x=(74.25)^2-30(74.25)=3285.56\ yd^2

Now, area of leftover = Area of square plot - Area of rectangular field

∴ Area of leftover = 11025 - 3285.56 = 7739.44 square yards
