Question

Mike's room is 12ft by 16ft. He has 10ft by 12ft rug on the floor. How much of the flooring is not covered by the rug?

Answer 1

Answer: 72ft

Step-by-step explanation:

AREA OF THE FLOOR = 12ft*16ft = 192ft

AREA OF THE RUG = 12ft*10ft = 120ft

THEREFORE, AREA NOT COVERED BY THE RUG = 192ft - 120ft = 72ft
