The length of a rectangular sheet of cardboard is 14 cm and the width is 9 cm less.

The length of a rectangular sheet of cardboard is 14 cm and the width is 9 cm less. Find the area of this sheet of cardboard.

By determining the area of a rectangle, it is determined by the formula: S = a * b, where a and b are its length and width.

Since the width is 9 cm less, then it will be:

14 – 9 = 5 cm.

Substituting these values for a and b, we calculate the area value:

S = 14 * 5 = 70 cm ^ 2.

Answer: the required area is 70 cm ^ 2.
