a rectangular wall with a length of 10x and width of 20 x has a rectangular doorway with a length of 5x and a width of 2x. What is the surface area of the wall?

Respuesta :

Answer:

∴ The the surface area of the wall is [tex]190x^{2} \ square\ unit[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

                 The length of rectangular wall is [tex]10x[/tex].

                 The width of rectangular wall is [tex]20x.[/tex]

                 The length of doorway is [tex]5x.[/tex]

                 The width of doorway is [tex]2x.[/tex]

and, we have to find the surface area of rectangular wall.

Now,

The length of rectangular wall is [tex]10x[/tex].

The width of rectangular wall is [tex]20x.[/tex]

∴ Total surface area of a rectangular wall [tex]= Length\ of\ wall\times Width\ of\ wall[/tex]

                                                                     [tex]= 10x\times 20x[/tex]

                                                                     [tex]=[/tex] [tex]200x^{2} \ square\ unit[/tex]

Total surface area of a rectangular wall is [tex]200x^{2} \ square\ unit[/tex].

Again, The length of doorway is [tex]5x.[/tex]

           The width of doorway is [tex]2x.[/tex]

∴Total surface area of doorway [tex]=Lenght\ of\ doorway\times Width\ of\ doorway[/tex]

                                                     [tex]=5x\times 2x[/tex]

                                                     [tex]=10x^{2} \ square\ unit[/tex]

Total surface area of doorway is [tex]10x^{2} \ square\ unit[/tex].

∴The remaining surface area of a rectangular wall is [tex]=[/tex] [tex]200x^{2} -10x^{2}[/tex]                                                                                                        

                                                                                           [tex]=190x^{2} \ square\ unit[/tex]

∴ The the surface area of the wall is [tex]190x^{2} \ square\ unit[/tex].
