A triangle with legs 2 and 1 cm is cut out of a square with a side of 5 cm.Find the area of the remaining part

In this task, we are given the measurements of the figures with which we will work, so the area of the whole square is equal to the square of the side 5 * 5 = 25, and the area of the triangle (since the legs are rectangular) is 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 1 * 2 = 1 Therefore, the area of the remaining part is 25-1 = 24 square centimeters.
