Solution
Given that length of rectangular sheet = 100 cm
Breadth of rectangular sheet = 80 cm
Area of the rectangular sheet of tin = 100 cm × 80 cm
= 8000 cm2
Side of the square at the corner of the sheet = 10 cm
Area of one square at the corner of the sheet = (10 cm)2 =
100 cm2
Area of 4 squares at the corner of the sheet = 4 × 100 cm2 = 400 cm2
Hence,
Area of the remaining sheet of tin = Area of the rectangular sheet - Area of the 4 squares
Area of the remaining sheet of tin = (8000 – 400) cm2 =
7600 cm2
