Question
A floor is 5 m long and 4 m wide. A square carpet of sides 3 m is laid on the floor. Find the area of the floor that is not carpeted.
Solution
Area of floor = l × b
= 5 × 4
= 20 m2
Area of square carpet = 3 × 3
= 9 m2
Area of floor that is not carpeted = 20 – 9
= 11 m2
∴ The area of the floor that is not carpeted is 11 m2.
