Question 992131: The length and breadth of a page of my exercise book is 15 cm and 12 cm. A margin of width 2 cm is drawn on all sides and wrote inside the margin. Find the area of portion on which I wrote and also find the area of the portion on which I have not written

The overall area of the page is the product of the length and width of the page. The area of the page containing writing is the length of the page minus 2 times the width of the margin times the width of the page minus 2 times the width of the margin. The area of the margin is the total area of the page minus the area of the page containing writing.
