If a grassy city park measures 1,019 feet long and 381 feet wide, and there is a rectangular flower garden measuring 176 feet long and 49 feet wide, what area of grass requires cutting?

Answer 1

Area is length times width.

The whole park is 1,019 feet times 381 feet, which is 388,239 square feet.

The flower garden is 176 feet times 49 feet which is 8,624 square feet.

Then we subtract the flower garden area from the whole park area, which is 379,605 square feet.
