Five square flower beds, each of sides 1 m, are dug on a piece of land 5 m long and 4 m wide. What is the area of the remaining part of the land?
To find the area of the remaining part of the land after digging five square flower beds, you can first calculate the total area of the land and then subtract the area of the five flower beds.
Calculate the total area of the land: Total Area = Length × Width Total Area = 5 m × 4 m = 20 square meters.Calculate the area of one square flower bed: Area of one flower bed = Side × Side Area of one flower bed = 1 m × 1 m = 1 square meter.
Calculate the total area of the five flower beds: Total Area of flower beds = 5 flower beds × 1 square meter/bed = 5 square meters.
Find the area of the remaining part of the land by subtracting the area of the flower beds from the total area of the land: Area of remaining land = Total Area - Total Area of flower beds Area of remaining land = 20 square meters - 5 square meters = 15 square meters.
So, the area of the remaining part of the land is 15 square meters.
