Question

A verandah of width 2.25 m is constructed all long outside a room which is 5.5 m long and 4m wide. Find the area of the verandah

Answer 1

63m^2

Explanation:

Area of room= 4(5.5)= 22m^2

Length of verandah= 5.5 + 2(2.25) = 10m

Breadth of verandah= 4 + 2(2.25) = 8.5m

Area of verandah + room= 10(8.5) = 85m^2

Area of verandah= 85-22= 63m^2
