A square piece of plywood has side 8cm.A parallelogram with base 6cmand height 5cm is cut from the piece. Find the area of remaining piece.

Answer 1

side of square = 8 cm

∴ area of square = 8 × 8 = 64 cm²

area of parallelogram that is cut from the piece = b × h

⇒ 6 × 5

⇒ 30 cm²

area of remaining piece = 64 - 30 ⇒ 34 cm²
