please answer
The tablecover 5m x 3m is spread on a meeting table. if 25 cm of the table cover is hanging all around the table, find the area of the table top
Length of table cover = 5m
Breadth of table cover = 3 m
As, 25cm = 0.25m table cover is hanging all around , so
Length of table top = 5- 2(.25)=4.5m
Breadth of table top = 3-2(0.25)=2.5m
now, area of table top =( 4.5*2.5 ) m^2 = 11.25m^2
