a rectangle has a length of 24 inches and a width of 36 inches. a square with side length of 5 inches is cut from the middle and removed. what is the area of the figure that remains
The area of the original rectangle equals 864 inches. This minus the area of the square removed, which is 25 inches, equals a remaining area of 839 inches.
Area = lw so therefore your equation to would look like this: (24-5)*36=684 sq ft. or you can set it up like this : 24*36=864 5 inches = 180 St ft 19*36=684=24*36-180=684
