A bedroom wall is to be painted around a window as shown below. A rectangle with length 11 feet and width 10 feet. A smaller rectangle with length 3 feet and width 2 feet is cut out of the larger rectangle. What is the area of the wall that will be painted? 6 feet squared 104 feet squared 110 feet squared 116 feet squared
You are taking away the room area. So 11x10=110 (Area of the whole wall) and you are cutting off 3x2=6 (Area of the wall you are cutting off). So you subtract 110-6= 104 ft2.
