i don't get please help..i am confused

Good for you to catch that.
To calculate the area of the lawn, we need to subtract the area of the house from the total area of the lot.
First, let's calculate the area of the lot. Multiply the length (50ft) by the width (100ft).
Area of lot = 50ft * 100ft = 5000 square feet
Next, let's calculate the area of the house. Multiply the length (25ft) by the width (50ft).
Area of house = 25ft * 50ft = 1250 square feet
Now, we can find the area of the lawn by subtracting the area of the house from the area of the lot.
Area of lawn = Area of lot - Area of house
= 5000 square feet - 1250 square feet
= 3750 square feet
Therefore, the area of the lawn is 3750 square feet.
if the entire lot is either house or lawn
lawn = 50x100 - 25x25 = ....
