Question

A room 12.5 m long and 10.5 m wide is surrounded by a verandah 2 m wide all around it. Find the area occupied by the verandah ​

Answer 1

Answer:

25m

Step-by-step explanation:

area=l*b

=12.5*2

=25m

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution,

Given,

length = 12.5 + 2m = 14.5

breadth = 10.5 + 2m = 12.5

Outer area of rectangle = l x b

                                        = 14.5 x 12.5

                                        = 181.25m

Inner area of rectangle = l x b

                                       =  12.5 x 10.5

                                      = 131.25m

Now the total area occupied by the area= 181.25m - 131.25m

                                                                     =50m
