Question

A square carpet of side 2.5 m is laid on the floor of a room which is 4.5 m long and 3.5 m wide.

a) Find the area of the floor that is carpeted.

b) Find the area of the floor that is not carpeted.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 6.25 m²

b) 9.5 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Side of carpet = 2.5 m

Length of room = 4.5 m

Breadth of room = 3.5 m

Area of room = l × b = 4.5 × 3.5 = 15.75 m²

Area of carpet = (side)² = (2.5)² = 6.25 m²

Area of the floor that is carpeted is 6.25 m².

Area of the floor that is not carpeted is 15.75 - 6.25 = 9.5 m²
