A rectangular floor measures 10m by 6m. A piece of rectangular carpet measuring 6m by 4m is placed in the middle of it. Calculate the area of the UNCOVERED floor.
use the formula A=L*W for rectangles and distribute the given values.
A=10m(6m)
=60m^2
A=6m(4m)
=24m^2
and initiatives afterwards...
To calculate the area of the uncovered floor, we need to subtract the area of the carpet from the total area of the floor.
The total area of the floor can be calculated by multiplying its length and width:
Area of the floor = length × width = 10m × 6m = 60sqm
Similarly, we can calculate the area of the carpet:
Area of the carpet = length × width = 6m × 4m = 24sqm
Now, to find the area of the uncovered floor, we subtract the area of the carpet from the total area of the floor:
Area of the uncovered floor = Area of the floor - Area of the carpet
= 60sqm - 24sqm
= 36sqm
Therefore, the area of the uncovered floor is 36 square meters.
