`text(Split the lawn into 3 areas)`
`text(Area 1) = 9 xx 3 = 27\ text(m²)`
`text(Area 2) = 5 xx 2 = 10\ text(m²)`
`text(Area 3:)`
`text(Height) = 5+2 = 7\ text(m)`
`text(Width)= 12-(5 + 3)= 4\ text(m)`
`=> text(Area 3) = 7 xx 4 = 28\ text(m²)`
| `:.\ text(Area of lawn)` | `= 27 + 10 + 28` |
| `= 65\ text(m²)` |
