Question

8. A rectangle is 8 feet long and 4 feet wide. If we remove a 2' square out of one

corner of the rectangle, how many square inches would remain in the rectangle?

Answer 1

The remaining area in the rectangle after removing a square can be found by subtracting the area of the square from the original area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle can be found by multiplying the length by the width. The original rectangle has a length of 8 feet and a width of 4 feet, so the area is 8 * 4 = 32 square feet. After removing a 2' square from one corner, the remaining area can be calculated by subtracting the area of the square (2 * 2 = 4 square feet) from the original area: 32 - 4 = 28 square feet. Therefore, 28 square feet would remain in the rectangle.

Answer 2

Answer is 28 sq. ft.

Step by step.

We know L x W = square feet of a rectangle.
So A = 8 x 4 = 32.

Take 2’ square which is 2 x 2 = 4 sq. feet from 32 = 28 square feet.
