Mathematics Question on Area
A floor is 5 m long and 4 m wide. A square carpet of sides 3 m is laid on the floor. Find the area of the floor that is not carpeted.
Answer
Length of floor = 5 m and breadth of floor = 4 m
Area of floor = length x breadth
= 5 m x 4 m = 20 m2 Now, Side of square carpet = 3 m
Area of square carpet = side x side = 3 x 3 = 9 m2
Area of floor that is not carpeted = 20 m2 – 9 m2 = 11 m2
