Question

A verandah 2 m wide is constructed all around a room of dimensions 8 m × 5 m.Find the area of the verandah

Answer 1

Length of room = 8 m
Width of room = 5 m
Area of room = 8 *5 = 40 m^2

Length of Outer rectangle = 8+4 = 12 m
Width of outer rectangle = 5 + 4 = 9 m

Area of outer rectangle = 12*9 = 108 m^2



Area of verandah = Outer Area - Area of room
= 108 - 40
= 68 m^2
