Answer:
273.25 feet2
Step-by-step explanation:
Daniela can only place the grass in the shaded areas and not the white areas so you want to start by finding the area of the full circle (12.5ft*25ft) and then subtracting the two equal quarter circles on the left and right corners, this can be done by using the radius given (5ft) and finding the area of what the full circle would have been 3.14*(5^2) which is equal too 78.5 (I got 3.14 from pi) and then dividing 78.5 by 4 to find the area of the quarter circle which is 19.625. since there are two quarter circles you multiply 19.625 by 2 and finally subtract your original recttangul by the two quarter circles 312.5(original rectangul)-39.25(the two quarter circles) giving you 273.25 feet2. hope that makes sense
