Question

chads bedroom floor is 12 ft long and 10 ft wide. He has an area rug on his floor that is 7 ft long and 5 feet wide. how. would i find the area of the floor that isnt covered by the rug

Answer 1

So, first you have to find the area of the floor and carpet alone. so for the carpet, it would be

12 x 10 = 120 ft (for the floor) 

and

7 x 5 = 35 ft (for the carpet)

now, to find the area of the floor that isn't covered by the rug, you subtract them. 

120 - 35 = 85 ft    85 ft is your answer

Answer 2

You would find the area of the rug and subtract it from the area of the room.
