Question

3. A carpet measures 24 m by 16 m. A strip of 2 m wide is cut from it all around. Find the area of
the remaining carpet and also the area of the strip cut out.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of altered carpet = 240 sq.m

Area of the cut = 144 sq.m

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of original carpet = 24 * 16 = 384 sq.m

Area of altered carpet = 20 * 12 = 240 sq.m

Area of the cut = 384 - 240 = 144 sq.m
