Question 1132781


if the rug is {{{8}}} feet long and {{{5}}} feet wide, the area will be 

{{{8ft*5ft=40ft^2}}}

if his room is {{{10}}} feet long and {{{10}}} feet wide, the area will be 

{{{10ft*10ft=100ft^2}}}


to find out how much of the floor in Ron's room will {{{not}}} be covered by the rug, deduct the area of the rug from the area of the room

{{{100ft^2-40ft^2=60ft^2}}}


so, {{{60ft^2}}}  of the floor in Ron's room will {{{not}}} be covered by the rug
