Question

A floor 6.5m by 5m has a carpet 6m by 4.8m placed on it. What is the area of the carpet? What is the area of the uncovered part of the floor.​

Answer 1

Length of floor = 5 m and breadth of floor = 4 m

Area of floor = length x breadth

= 5 m x 4 m = 20 m.sq

Now, Side of square carpet = 3 m

Area of square carpet = side x side = 3 x 3 = 9 m.sq

Area of floor that is not carpeted = 20 m – 9 m = 11 m.sq
