A rectangular piece of dimensions 3 cm × 2 cm was cut from a rectangular sheet of paper of dimensions 6 cm × 5 cm (Fig. 9.14).
The area of the remaining sheet of paper is
(a) 30 cm2 (b) 36 cm2 (c) 24 cm2 (d) 22 cm2
(c) 24 cm2
First, we have to calculate the area of rectangular piece = length × breadth
= 2 cm × 3 cm
= 6 cm2
So, the area of a sheet of paper of dimensions 6 cm × 5 cm
= 30 cm2
Then, the Area of the remaining sheet of paper is = 30 cm – 6 cm
= 24 cm2
