Answer:

Area of the floor not covered = 240ft²

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached

The area of the floor not covered = area of the office floor - area of the rug covered

Area of the rug = 5in×4in = 20in²

Area of the floor not covered = 35in²-20in² = 15in²

In square feet will be 16×15 = 240ft²
