Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:There is 384.75 sq feet area of grass in the rectangular yard.Step-by-step explanation:The dimensions of the rectangular yard = 25 ft x 19 ftThe Area of the yard = LENGTH x WIDTH = 25 ft x 19 ft = 475 sq feetor, the area of the rectangular yard = 475 sq feetNow, the side of the square covered with flower garden = 9.5 feetSo, area of the flower garden = 9.5 ft x 9.5 ft = 90.25 sq ftNow, Area Covered with Grass = Total area of Yard - Area of flower garden = 475 sq feet - 90.25 sq feet = 384.75 sq feetor, the area covered with grass = 384.75 sq feetHence, there is 384.75 sq feet area of grass in the rectangular yard.
