Question 1040631: A rectangular flag is 35 cm long and 20 cm wide if a triangle is cut out of the center of the flag that has a base of 15 cm and a height of 8 cm what is the remaining area of the flag Found 2 solutions by Boreal, addingup:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Area of the rectangle is length*width or 35*20=700 cm^2
Area of the cut out triangle is (1/2)bh=(1/2) 15*8=(1/2)(120)=60 cm^2
The remaining area of the flag is 700-60=640 cm^2.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! area of flag:
35*20 = 700cm^2
Area of triangle:
15*8/2 = 60
Area of flag without the triangle:
700-60 = 640cm^2
