Question

Cornelio’s backyard is enclosed by a fence and the house. A diagram of the backyard is shown below.

Answer 1

5,500 ft²

Explanation:

Easiest way is to find the area of the entire 100 x 80 square, then subtract the footprint of the house (50 x 50):

Backyard area = (100 x 80) - (50 x 50) = 8000 - 2500 = 5500 ft²
