Since these measurements are not provided in the question, let&#8217;s assume a typical setup based on common problems of this nature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose Charmaine\u2019s <strong>entire backyard<\/strong> is a rectangle measuring <strong>20 meters long<\/strong> and <strong>15 meters wide<\/strong>, and the <strong>patio<\/strong> is a smaller rectangle inside the backyard measuring <strong>8 meters long<\/strong> and <strong>5 meters wide<\/strong>.

When shapes meet at right angles, and all sides are either vertical or horizontal, calculating the area becomes a matter of multiplying length and width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the entire backyard is one large rectangle, and the patio is another smaller rectangle located within it. To determine how much space is left for the garden, subtract the area of the patio from the total area of the backyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of problem illustrates how <strong>subtraction of areas<\/strong> is used in geometry when one part of a larger region is taken up by a non-overlapping smaller region. Always ensure units remain consistent and double-check all measurements.
