Question

In the garden, which is 87 3/4 m long and 38.5 m wide, there is a 24.5 m long pond. How big is the garden area without the pond?​

a. 3345.625 m²
b. 3400 m²
c. 3500 m²
d. 3625.125 m²

Answer 1

The garden area without the pond can be found by subtracting the area of the pond from the total area of the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden area without the pond can be found by subtracting the area of the pond from the total area of the garden. To find the area of the pond, multiply its length by its width. The area of the garden without the pond is equal to the area of the garden minus the area of the pond.

Area of the pond = length of the pond * width of the pond = 24.5 m * 38.5 m = 943.25 m²

Area of the garden = length of the garden * width of the garden = 87rac{3}{4} m * 38.5 m

Area of the garden without the pond = Area of the garden - Area of the pond = 87rac{3}{4} m * 38.5 m - 943.25 m² = 3379.625 m²

Therefore, the correct option is a. 3345.625 m².
