What is the area of the remaining part of the sheet in cm2?

A144
B120
C72
D60


how to solve

Ans 1:

Ira Jamsandekar from Shantiniketan, KOLHAPUR
Class : Class 10
Total area of uncut square is 144. 4 rectangles of (3 x 2) area 6 are cut. Which means 24 square unit area is cut. That leaves 144 - 24 = 120 square cm area. So answer is B

the area of square paper sheet without cutting corners is Breadth x lenght = 12 x 12 = 144, now the area of the cut rectangle is breadth x length = 3 x 2 = 6, and there are four corners cutted. therefore 6 x 4 =24, now minus the cut corners area from total area. so 144-24 =120. therefore the answer is B

Its was a square 12X12=144sq cm. cut part area= 2x3=6 sq cm. total cut area = 6x4= 24 sq cm. Area of remaining sheet = 144-24 = 120. so, B is the answer.

Total area of the square=12 x 12 = 144 cm2 Area of one rectangle cut = 3 x 2 = 6 cm2 Area of 4 rectangles cut = 4 x 6 = 24 cm3 Area of the square after cutting = 144 - 24 = 120 cm2

Area of original square paper sheet = 12 x12 = 144cm2
Area of 1 rectangle cut = 3 x 2 = 6 cm2
Area of 4 such rectangles - 6 x 4 = 24 cm2
Area of paper left = 144 - 24 = 120 cm2

Sarang Pande from Podar International School, Rajkot
Class : Class 4
Answer: (B) Area of square = 12*12 = 144 sq cm Area of 1 rectangle cut = 3*2 = 6 sq cm Area of 4 rectangles cut = 4*6 = 24 sq cm Area of remaining paper = 144 - 24 = 120 sq cm
