You have a rectangular yard that measures 16 feet long by 14 feet wide. It is covered in grass except for in the center, where there is a circular fountain with a diameter of 4 feet. What is the area of the grass portion of your yard? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. 131.43 ft.^2 173.74 ft.^2 211.43 ft.^2 263.74 ft.^2
Solution
Area of rectangular yard = length*width = 16*14 = 224 sqfeet
Area of circular foundation = pi*radius^2 = pi*2^2 = 12.57 sqfeet
Area of grass portion = 224 - 12.57 = 211.43 sqfeet
