Question

A carpet measures 30 m by 20 m. A strip of 4 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 carpet is 416 sq.m

area of strip cut out is 184 sq.m

Step-by-step explanation:

4m is cut out all around _ (given)

actual area before cut out = 30 × 20 = 600 sq.m

if 4 m is cut out from all around the measures will be - 26 m and 16 m respectively.

now the area will be - 26 × 16 = 416 sq.m

similarly,

cut out strip will be

= area of carpet before cutout - area of carpet

= 600 - 416

= 184 sq.m
