Explanation:

area grass

Lets break the area into two parts:

Part A is a square:

Area of A = a2 = 20m × 20m = 400m2

Part B is a triangle. Viewed sideways it has a base of 20m and a height of 14m.

Area of B =$\dfrac{1}{2}\left(b \times h \right)$ = $\dfrac{1}{2}\left(20 \times 14 \right)$ = 140m2

So the total area is:

Area = Area of A + Area of B = 400m2 + 140m2 = 540m2

Sam earns Rs.0.10 per square meter

Sam earns = Rs.0.10 × 540m2 = Rs.54
