The document describes a flowerbed garden that is shaped like a rectangle with a missing square section. The dimensions given are that the overall rectangle is 16 feet by 12 feet, and the missing inner square is 10 feet by 10 feet. To find the total area, you would calculate the area of the overall rectangle (16 x 12 = 192 sq ft) and subtract the area of the missing inner square (10 x 10 = 100 sq ft), giving a total area of 192 - 100 = 92 square feet.
