Options:
A) $ 586.25m^{2} $
B) $ 572.75m^{2} $
C) $ 591.25m^{2} $
D) $ 563.75m^{2} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Area of rectangular field $ =30\times 24=720m^{2} $
Area under the grass = Area of field without passages
$ =720-[2.5\times 30+2.5\times 24-2.5\times 2.5] $
$ =720-[75+60-6.25] $
$ =720-128.75=591.25m^{2}. $
