QUESTION:
The Central hall of a school is 22 m long and 15.5 wide, a carpet is to be laid on the floor leaving a strip of 75cm width from the walls uncovered find the area of the carpet and area of the strip left uncovered.
SOLUTION:
Length of a central hall of a school = 22 m
Breadth of a central hall of a school = 15.5 m
Area of hall = 22×15.5 = 341 m²
Width=75 cm=0.75 m
Length of the carpet= 22-2(0.75)
= 22-1.5
= 20.5 m
Breadth of the carpet= 15.5 - 1.5
= 14 m
Area of the carpet= l×b = 20.5 ×14 = 287 m²
Area of the strip left uncovered= 341-287 = 54 m²
