Answer:
Explanation:
The area has to be found for the floor.
The whole rectangle = length × width = x × (x-4), has an area of x(x-4).
The area x(x-4) has to be subtracted from the area of the stage and closet.
Area of stage = area of triangle : base × height × 1/2
(x-4) × 8 × 1/2
(0.5) × (8) × (x-4)
Area of closet = area of rectangle : length × width
(3) × (7)
The area of the floor = x(x-4) - 0.5(8)(x-4) - 3(7)
