Question

A verandah 2m wide is constructed all around outside a room of size 8m by 5m .Find the area of the verandah​

Answer 1

Answer:68m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the room = l*b

                             = 8m*5m =40m²

Area of room + verandah = l*b

                                          = (8 + 2 +2)(5 + 2 + 2) = 12*9 = 108m²

Now,

Area of verandah = area of whole - area of room

                              = 108m² - 40m² = 68m²

Answer 2

Answer:

length of outer rectangle=8+2+2+12m

breadth of outer rectangle=5+2+2=9m

area of outer rectangle=l×b=12×9=108m^2

length of inner rectangle =8m

breadth of inner rectangle=5m

area of inner rectangle=l×b=8×5=40m^2

there fore area of verandha=(area of outer figure )-(area of inner figure)

=108-40=68m^2....

hope this helped you...
