Question

A puzzle board, in the shape of a square, has a side of 6 m. A square piece of the puzzle with a side of 2 m is placed on it. Find the remaining area of the board.

• A. 28 $m^2$
• B. 32 $m^2$
• C. 22 $m^2$
• D. 24 $m^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B 32 $m^2$

Area of the puzzle board = 6 x 6 = 36 $m^2$
Area of the puzzle piece = 2 x 2 = 4 $m^2$
Remaining area of the board = 36 - 4 = 32 $m^2$
