First, calculate the area of Ash's garden:
Area = length x width
Area = 4m x 5m
Area = 20 square meters
Next, calculate the area of the pond:
Area = length x width
Area = 2m x 3m
Area = 6 square meters
Now, subtract the area of the pond from the total area of Ash's garden to find the area that surrounds the pond:
Area surrounding pond = Total area of garden - Area of pond
Area surrounding pond= 20 square meters - 6 square meters
Area surrounding pond= 14 square meters
Therefore, the area of Ash's garden that surrounds the pond is 14 square meters.
Ash’s garden measures 4 metres by 5 metres. Her garden has a pond that measures 2 metres by 3 metres. Calculate the area of Ash’s garden that surrounds the pond.
