PLEASE HELP URGENT !!!
I have just moved into a new house. The back garden is rectangular, 15m long and 12m wide. At
present it is a mess.
My intention is to dig it all up then create the following layout:
The pond will be square and measure 4m by 4m. The paths around the pond and the perimeter
of the garden will both be 1m wide and the paths linking the pond and the perimeter will be 0.5m
wide. The rest of the garden will be flower beds.
(i) What will be the total area of the flower beds?
(ii) How many 0.5m by 0.5m square paving slabs will I need altogether to make the paths?
