Outside area = [ 34 ] [ 14 ] m²
Outside area = 476 m²
Area of grass = 30 x 10 m²
Area of grass = 300 m²
Area of sidewalk = 176 m²

The area of the grass PLUS sidewalk is
34m x 14m = 476 m^2.
The area of the grass is 300 m^2.
Therefore the area of the sidewalk is 176 m^2.
Another way:
You could think of the sidewalk as four pieces,
two of them 2m x 12m and the other two 2m x 32m. Total = 2 x 2m x 44m = 176 m^2.
