the diagram represents a rectangular garden of length 14 m and width 10 m
The flower bed is a triangle and the vegetable patch is a trapezium
the rest of the garden is lawn

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of the lawn is 68 [tex]m^2[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of lawn = Area of garden - (Area of triangle + Area of trapezium)

Area of garden = length x width

                            = 14 x 10

                           = 140 [tex]m^2[/tex]

Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x base x height

                         = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x 3 x 8

                         = 12 [tex]m^2[/tex]

Area of trapezium = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (a + b) h

                             = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex](5 + 7) 10

                              = 60 [tex]m^2[/tex]

So that;

Area of lawn = 140 - (12 + 60)

                     = 140 - 72

                     = 68

The area of the lawn is 68 [tex]m^2[/tex].
