Answer 1

Given

A square piece of plywood has side 8 cm.

A parallelogram with base 6 cm and height 5 cm is cut from the piece.

To find

The area of the remaining piece.

Solution

Given that,

Side of square = 8cm.

We know,

Area of square = (side)^2

Area = 8A8

< / p ><p> Aea 64cm^2

Also,

Area of parallelogram :

Area = baseAheight

Given that,

base = 6cm & height =5cm.

Area = 6A5

< / p>< p ? 30cm^2

Now,

Remaining area = area of square - area of parallelogram

64 - 30

< / p ><p> 34 cm^2

Remaining Area = 34cm^2
