Question 246980
Your parents ask you to mow the lawn. It is a square plot that is 16 ft on each side and it has a square cement fountain in the center that is 3 ft on each side. What is the area of the lawn that you will mow?
---------------------------------------
Grand total: 16^2 sq. ft.
Cement: 3^2 sq.ft
-------------------------
Area to mow: 16^2-3^2 = 247 sq. ft.
