Question

a room 12.5 M long and 10.5 M wide is surrounded by a brand are 2 metre wide all around it find the area occupied by the verandah

Answer 1

area of room =131.5
area of room+brand=181.5
area of varandah=181.5-131.5=50

Answer 2

Given data : A room 12.5 m long and 10.5 m wide is surrounded by a verandah 2m wide all around it.

To find : The area occupied by the verandah.

Solution : Here, we know that,

• Width of the verandah : 2 m

• Length of the room : 12.5 m

• Breadth of the room : 10.5 m

Now,

➜ Area of the room = length * breadth

➜ Area of the room = 12.5 * 10.5

➜ Area of the room = 131.25 m²

Now, a/c to given data ;

• Length of the room with width of the verandah : 12.5 + 2 * (2) = 12.5 + 4 = 16.5 m

• Breadth of the room with width of the verandah : 10.5 + 2 * (2) = 10.5 + 4 = 14.5 m

Now,

➜ Area of the room with verandah = length * breadth

➜ Area of the room with verandah = 16.5 * 14.5

➜ Area of the room with verandah = 239.25 m²

Now,

➜ Area of the verandah = {Area of the room with verandah} - {Area of the room}

➜ Area of the verandah = 239.25 - 131.25

➜ Area of the verandah = 108 m²

Answer : Hence, area of the verandah is 108 m².
