Question 12 of 13
Daniel needs to mow his yard except for the area covered by the garden.
Use structure to show how to find the area of the yard that Daniel mows.
The yard is a rectangle that is 10 feet wide and 10 feet long. The rectangular garden in the yard is 6 feet long and 3 feet wide.
Enter your answers in the boxes.
area of yard:
square feet
area of garden:
square feet
area that needs mowed:
−
=
square feet
To find the area of the yard that Daniel mows, we can first calculate the total area of the yard, which is:
10 feet (width) x 10 feet (length) = 100 square feet
Then, we can calculate the area of the garden, which is:
6 feet (length) x 3 feet (width) = 18 square feet
Finally, we can find the area that needs to be mowed by subtracting the area of the garden from the total area of the yard:
100 square feet - 18 square feet = 82 square feet
Therefore, the area that Daniel needs to mow is 82 square feet.
To find the area of the yard, which Daniel needs to mow, we can subtract the area of the garden from the total area of the yard.
The yard is a rectangle with dimensions:
Width = 10 feet
Length = 10 feet
To calculate the area of a rectangle, we multiply its length by its width.
Area of yard = Length * Width
Area of yard = 10 feet * 10 feet
Area of yard = 100 square feet
The garden is also a rectangular area with dimensions:
Length = 6 feet
Width = 3 feet
To calculate the area of the garden, we multiply its length by its width.
Area of garden = Length * Width
Area of garden = 6 feet * 3 feet
Area of garden = 18 square feet
To find the area that needs to be mowed, we subtract the area of the garden from the area of the yard.
Area that needs mowed = Area of yard - Area of garden
Area that needs mowed = 100 square feet - 18 square feet
Area that needs mowed = 82 square feet
Therefore:
- The area of the yard is 100 square feet.
- The area of the garden is 18 square feet.
- The area that needs to be mowed is 82 square feet.
To find the area of the yard, we need to multiply its length by its width. The length of the yard is given as 10 feet, and the width is also given as 10 feet.
So, the area of the yard can be calculated by multiplying the length (10 feet) by the width (10 feet):
Area of yard = Length × Width = 10 feet × 10 feet = 100 square feet
Now, let's find the area of the garden. The garden is a smaller rectangle within the yard, and its length is given as 6 feet and its width is given as 3 feet.
So, the area of the garden can be calculated by multiplying the length (6 feet) by the width (3 feet):
Area of garden = Length × Width = 6 feet × 3 feet = 18 square feet
To calculate the area that needs to be mowed, we subtract the area of the garden from the area of the yard:
Area that needs to be mowed = Area of yard - Area of garden = 100 square feet - 18 square feet = 82 square feet
Therefore, Daniel needs to mow an area of 82 square feet.
