SOLUTION :
The length and breadth of a rectangular acrylic sheet = 34 cm and 24 cm
So,
We know that,
Area of rectangle = lb unit sq.
[ In which l is the length and b is the breadth of the rectangle ]
So,
Area of the rectangular acrylic sheet = 34 × 24
= 816 cm sq.
According to the question,
From the rectangular sheet 64 circular buttons having diameter 3.5 cm each were cut
Radius of each circular button = 3.5 ÷ 2 [ as radius = diameter ÷ 2 ]
= 1.75 cm
Now,
Area of the circular buttons = cm sq.
= 22/7 × 1.75 × 1.75
= 9.625 cm sq.
Now,
Area of 64 such circular buttons = 9.625 × 64 = 616 cm sq.
Now,
The area left after cutting 64 circular buttons from the rectangular sheet
= Area of the rectangular sheet - Area of the 64 circular buttons
= 816 - 616
= 200 cm sq.
Hence,
The remaining area is 200 cm sq.
