A circular garden is placed inside a rectangular patio that measures 20 feet by 14 feet. The circular garden is tangent to three sides of the rectangular patio, as shown. What percent of the patio is outside of the garden? Express your answer to the nearest whole number. Use \(\dfrac{22}{7}\) as an approximation for π.

    The area of the patio is : 20 x 14 = 280 (ft2)

    There are 2 cases (because there's no figure) :

    + The garden is tangent to 2 20-ft sides and 1 14-ft side

    The radius of the garden is : \(14:2=7\left(ft\right)\)

    The area of the garden is : \(7^2\pi=49\pi\left(ft^2\right)\) 

    The answer is : \(\dfrac{100\left(280-49\pi\right)}{280}\%\approx45\%\)

    + The garden is tangent to 2 14-ft sides and 1 20-ft side

    The radius of the garden is : \(20:2=10\left(ft\right)\)

    The area of the garden is : \(10^2\pi=100\pi\left(ft^2\right)\) (asburd because \(100\pi>280\))

    So, the answer is 45%
