Best Ride Sports sells snowboard equipment and clothing. The store measures 15 m by 13 m. The checkout desk measures 3 m by 1 m. A display shelf measures 11 m by 2 m. The floor around the desk and shelf is tiled. What area of the floor is tiled?
It would mean a lot if you helped me!!
whole floor: 15*13 = 195 m^2
Now subtract off the covered parts:
3*1 and 11*2
To find the area of the floor that is tiled, we need to calculate the area of the checkout desk and the display shelf, and then subtract that total area from the total area of the store.
The area of the checkout desk can be calculated as:
Length × Width = 3 m × 1 m = 3 m²
The area of the display shelf can be calculated as:
Length × Width = 11 m × 2 m = 22 m²
Now, let's find the total area of the store:
Length × Width = 15 m × 13 m = 195 m²
To find the area of the floor that is tiled, we subtract the area of the checkout desk and the display shelf from the total area of the store:
Area of tiled floor = Total area of the store - Area of checkout desk - Area of display shelf
Area of tiled floor = 195 m² - 3 m² - 22 m²
Area of tiled floor = 170 m²
Therefore, the area of the floor that is tiled is 170 square meters.
