The length of a living room rug is 12 1/2 feet, and the width is 10 3/4 feet. There is a loveseat that covers 12 1/2 squrare feet of the rug and an entertantment center that cover 6 squrare feet. What is the area of the rug that can be seen?

Answer: 115.875

Explanation:

Start by finding the area of the rug

Area of rectangle is length x width:

= 12.5 x 10.75

= 134.375

You're already given the area for the loveseat (12.5 sqft.) and the area for the entertainment center (6 sqft.). Subtract these from 134.375:

134.375 - 12.5 - 6 = 115.875

134.375 - 12.5 - 6 = 115.875
