Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: area of verandah is 68 m square .

step by step explanation:

Length of room = 8 m

Breadth of room = 5 m

Width of varandah = 2 m

Length of varandah = Length of room + 2 (Width of varandah)

                                = 8 + 2(2) = 8 + 4 = 12 m

Similarly, breadth of varandah = 9 m

Area of varandah = Area of varandah along with room - Area of room

                             = 12(9) - 8(5)

                             = 108 - 40

                             = 68 m square
