a rectangular garden has a length of 9 meters and a width of 7 meters. inside the garden is a square patch of roses. the patch is a square with sides of 4 meters. what is the area of the part of the garden NOT covered by roses?
A = 9*7
A = 63 sq. meters
A = 4^2
A = 16 sq. meters
63 - 16 = ______ sq. meters
To find the area of the part of the garden not covered by roses, we need to calculate the area of the entire garden and subtract the area of the square patch of roses.
1. Calculate the area of the entire garden:
Area of rectangle = length × width
Area of the garden = 9 meters × 7 meters
2. Calculate the area of the square patch:
Area of square = side × side
Area of the patch = 4 meters × 4 meters
3. Subtract the area of the square patch from the area of the entire garden:
Area of the part not covered by roses = Area of the garden - Area of the patch
Let's calculate it step by step:
Area of the garden = 9 meters × 7 meters = 63 square meters
Area of the patch = 4 meters × 4 meters = 16 square meters
Area of the part not covered by roses = 63 square meters - 16 square meters
Area of the part not covered by roses = 47 square meters
Therefore, the area of the part of the garden not covered by roses is 47 square meters.
