Answer:
915 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the rectangle :
Length = 32 inches
Width = 25 - (10+10) = 25 - 20 = 5 inches
Area of rectangle = Length * width
Area = 32 * 5 = 160 in²
Area of triangle :
Base = 25 inches
Height = (46 - 32) inches = 14 inches
Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Area of triangle = 1/2 * 25 * 14 = 175 in²
Total area = (160 + 175)in² = 335 in²
Total area of cardboard :
50 inches * 25 inches = 1250 in²
Amount of cardboard not used :
(1250 - 335) in² = 915 in²
