A grass lawn is 56 meters long and 42 meters wide. Near the end of each corner there is a flower plot 6 meters by 4 meters. How many square meters of the lawn are covered with grass?
-----------------------------
Each flower area = 24 sq meters
Total flower are = 4*24 = 96 sq meters
-------------
Total rectangular area = 56*42 = 2352 sq meters
-------------------------
Total grass area = 2352-96 = 2256 sq meters
