Question

If I had a yard that was 100 feet by 100 feet, and a house in the middle of it that was 20 feet by 20 feet, what is the area of the yard, not including the house?

Answer 1

C.

10,000 - 400 = 9600 square feet.

Explanation:

First,

100 x 100 = 10,000

So by now we know A, B, D are gone.

Next,

20 x 20 = 400

After that, we...

Subtract.

10,000 - 400 = 9600 square feet.

Hope this helps, have a great day, and stay safe!!

Answer 2

C. 10000-400 = 9600 square feet

Explanation:

The area of a square is s^2, so the area of the yard is 100^2=10000. The area of the house is 20^2=400. Since we do not include the area of the house, 10000-400=9600 square feet.
