A rectangular flower bed that is 5 ft long and 4 feet wide is surrounded by a square lawn that is

12 ft long. What is the area covered by the lawn?

0153 ft?

0

124 ft2

164 ft?

124 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

The yard is a 12ft square so the length and width would both be 12ft. You multiply the length and width of the yard to get the area of the yard so 12x12=144. You have the length and width of the flower bed so 5x4=20. Once you have the area of both you can subtract the area the flower bed takes up of the lawn. 144-20=124 ft2.
