A rectangular lot measures 40 feet by 30 feet and contains a shed with a 10 foot square base. How much of the lot is left as open ground?
Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 117 (Arithmetic Reasoning): 1,100 square feet
Method
The lot covers 40 x 30 = 1,200 square feet and the shed occupies 10 x 10 = 100, leaving 1,100 square feet. The choice 1,190 subtracts the shed's perimeter instead of its area.
