In a rectangular garden plot 30m long and 15m wide, an area of 240m² is used for growing vegetables. What area of the plot is left?
Take the total area (that is length x width) of the entire plot, and subtract off the vegetable garden and that is now what is left over : )

To find the area that is left in the rectangular garden plot, we first need to calculate the total area of the plot and then subtract the area used for growing vegetables.
The formula to find the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width, so in this case, the total area of the plot is 30m * 15m = 450m².
Now, to find the area that is left, we subtract the area used for growing vegetables (240m²) from the total area of the plot (450m²):
450m² - 240m² = 210m².
Therefore, the area that is left in the rectangular garden plot is 210m².
