Question

A rectangular floor is 5 m long and 4 m wide. A square carpet of side 3 m is laid on the floor. Find the area of the floor that is not carpeted.

Answer 1

Answer:

11 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of floor;

l=5m b=4m

Dimensions of square carpet

l=3m

area of floor = l*b = 5*4 = 20 m^2

area of carpet = l*l = 3*3 = 9 m^2

area of floor that is not carpeted =

area of floor - area of carpet

= 20 - 9

= 11m^2
