Answer:

[tex]384.75\ ft^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how much grass is in the yard subtract the area of the flower garden from the total area of the rectangular yard

so

Find out the area of the rectangular yard

[tex]A=(25)(19)=475\ ft^2[/tex]

Find out the area of the square flower garden

[tex]A=(9.5)^2=90.25\ ft^2[/tex]

so

[tex]475\ ft^2-90.25\ ft^2=384.75\ ft^2[/tex]
