Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as
Area = length × width
There are 6 rectangular flower gardens each measuring 18 feet by 13 feet in a rectangular city park. The area of each garden is
Area = 18 × 13 = 234 ft²
Since there are 6 gardens, the total area covered by the 6 gardens is
6 × 234 = 1404 ft²
The rectangular park measures 70 feet by 160 feet. The total area of the park is
Area = 70 × 160 = 11200 ft²
The number of square feet of the park that is not used for flower gardens is
11200 - 1040 = 10160 ft²
The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is
2(length × width)
Total number of feet covered by rectangular city park is
2(70 + 160) = 460 ft
Number of feet covered by the 6 rectangular gardens is
6[2(18 + 13)] = 372 ft
The number of feets not used for flower gardens is
460 - 372 = 88 feet
