Right Answer is:
SOLUTION
It is given that the length of the rectangular piece is 20 m and its width is 15 m.
And, from each corner a quadrant each of radius 3.5 m has been cut out. A rough figure for this is given below :
Therefore, Area of the remaining part = Area of the rectangular piece — (4 × Area of a quadrant of radius 3.5m)
Now, area of the rectangular piece = 20 × 15 = 300 m2
And, area of a quadrant with radius 3.5 m = 14πr2 = 14 × 227 × 3.52 = 9.625 m2
Therefore, Area of the remaining part = 300 – (4 ×9.625) = 261.5 m2
