The side of the square garden is 6m. a quarter of the area was harvested with cucumbers, and with the rest

The side of the square garden is 6m. a quarter of the area was harvested with cucumbers, and with the rest – tomatoes. What area did the tomatoes come from?

First, let’s find the area of the garden, which is equal to the area of a square with a side of 6m:

6 * 6 = 24 (m2).

Now let’s find a quarter of the area:

24: 4 = 6 (m2) is the area from which the cucumbers were harvested.

So the tomatoes were harvested from the rest of the area, namely:

24 – 6 = 18 (m2).

Answer: 18m2.
