Question 1161967
.
<pre>

From the area of 40*60 = 2400 sq.yards subtract the area

    60*6 = 360 sq.yards of one strip 

and subtract the area

    40*6 = 240 sq.yards of the other strip.



You will get  then  2400 - 360 - 240 = 2400 - 600 = 1800 sq.yards.



To this, add the area  6*6 = 36 sq.yards of the intersection square,
since you subtracted it twice.


By doing this way, you will get the final
