Question

An event is organized in a rectangular ground with a length 8m and a width 5m. It has a stage of length 4m and width 3m. Find the remaining area of the ground where food stalls can be set up.

• A. 28 $m^2$
• B. 38$m^2$
• C. 12 $m^2$
• D. 40 $m^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A 28 $m^2$

Area of the ground = 8 x 5 = 40$m^2$
Area of the stage = 4 x 3 = 12$m^2$
Remaining area of the food stalls = 40 - 12 = 28 $m^2$
