Five square flower beds each of side 1 m are dug on a piece of land 5 m long and 4 m wide. What is the area of the remaining part of the land?

We know that,

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth


It is given in the question that,


Length of rectangle = 5 m


Breadth of rectangle = 4 m


Therefore,


Area of land = Length × Breadth


= 5 × 4


= 20 m2


Also,


Area occupied by 5 flower beds = 5 × (Side)2


= 5 × (1)2


= 5 m2


Therefore,


Area of remaining part = 20 – 5 = 15 m2
