a lot measures 50ft by 100ft. the house on a lot measures 25ft by 50ft. what is the area of the lawn
i don't get please help..i am confused
To calculate the area of the lawn, you need to subtract the area of the house from the area of the entire lot.
The area of the entire lot can be calculated by multiplying the length and width of the lot. In this case, the length of the lot is 100ft and the width is 50ft. So, the area of the entire lot is 100ft * 50ft = 5000 square feet.
Now, to find the area of the house, you multiply its length and width. The length of the house is 50ft and the width is 25ft. So, the area of the house is 50ft * 25ft = 1250 square feet.
To find the area of the lawn, subtract the area of the house from the area of the entire lot.
Area of lawn = Area of lot - Area of house
= 5000 sq ft - 1250 sq ft
= 3750 square feet.
So, the area of the lawn is 3750 square feet.
