Question

Help?? A floor is 6m long and 4m wide. A square carpet of sides 4m is laid on the floor.

Find the area of the floor that is not carpeted.

Answer 1

the floor in all is 6mx4m giving you 24m

and the carpet would be 4mx4m giving you 16

so 24-16=8m

I hope this is correct good luck!

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf 8 \ m^2}`

Explanation:

Area of the floor:

= length × width (where l = 6 m, w = 4 m)

= 6 m × 4 m

= 24 m²

Area of the square carpet:

= length × length (where l = 4 m)

= 4 m × 4 m

= 16 m²

Area of the floor not carpeted:

= Area of the floor - Area of the carpet

= 24 - 16

= 8 m²

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
