Question

6. A room is 12.5 m long and 8 m wide. A square carpet of side 8 m is laid on its floor. Find the
area of the floor which is not carpeted.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the floor not carpeted is 36 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of carpet = 8m x 8m = 64 m²

Area of room floor = 12.5m x 8m = 100 m²

Now, Area of floor = Area of carpet + Area of uncarpeted portion

Therefore,

Area of uncarpeted portion = Area of floor - Area of carpet

                                              = 100 m² - 64 m²

                                              = 36 m²

Area of the floor not carpeted is 36 m²
