Q 8. 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.
Given that,
Length of the floor = 5 m
and its width = 4 m
Therefore, the area of the floor
= length breadth
And, side of the square carpet = 3m
Therefore, the area of the square carpet =
= 3m 3m = 9m2
Thus, the area of the floor which is not covered with carpet =
