Answer:
5.5m^2
the area of just the trench is 5.5 m^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The Area of trench only is the total area(trench and garden) minus the Area of garden
Area of trench only = total area(trench and garden) - Area of garden
Area = length × breadth
Substituting the given dimensions;
Total area = 3.5 × 3 = 10.5 m^2
Area of garden = 2.5×2 = 5 m^2
Area of trench only = 10.5 m^2 - 5 m^2
Area of trench only = 5.5m^2
the area of just the trench is 5.5 m^2
