From a rectangle with sides of 11 cm and 8 cm, 2 squares with sides of 5 cm were cut out.
From a rectangle with sides of 11 cm and 8 cm, 2 squares with sides of 5 cm were cut out. find the area of the rest of the figure.
1. To complete this task, it is necessary to subtract the area of two squares from the area of the rectangle, as a result we get the remaining area. Then we find the area of the original rectangle:
11 cm * 8 cm = 88 cm2.
2. Now let’s calculate the area of one square with a side of 5 cm:
5 * 5 = 25 cm2.
3. Now let’s determine the area of two identical squares if the area of one is 25 cm2:
25 * 2 = 50 cm2.
4. Finally, subtract the area of two squares from the area of the original rectangle to obtain the area of the remaining piece of the figure:
88 – 50 = 38 cm2.
Answer: The area of the remaining part of the rectangle is 38 cm2.
