eginarrayl extArea of zari=Area of an outer rectangle(or sari)-Area of a rectangle without zari\ extClearly, area of sari=length imes breadth=5.5m imes1.25m=6.875sq.m\ \ extFor area of rectangle without zari, we have\ extlength=5.5m-(5+25)cm=5.5m-30cm=5.5m-0.3m=5.2m [using 100cm=1m]\ \ extSimilarly, its breadth ext=1.25m-(2.5+2.5)cm=1.25m-5cm=1.25m-0.05m=1.2m [using 100cm=1m]\ extHence, Area of sari without zari =length imes breadth=5.2m imes1.2m=6.24m^2\ extSo the area of zari=Area of outer rectangle(or sari)-Area of rectangle without zari\ =6.875m2-6.24m2=0.635m^2\ endarray
