Question

a lot is 50 m by 35 m. a house 31 m by 9 m is built on the lot. how much area is left over?

the area left over is v

Explanation:

Calculate the total area of the lot

$$ A_{\text{lot}} = 50\text{ m} \times 35\text{ m} = 1750\text{ m}^2 $$

Calculate the area of the house

$$ A_{\text{house}} = 31\text{ m} \times 9\text{ m} = 279\text{ m}^2 $$

Calculate the leftover area

$$ A_{\text{leftover}} = A_{\text{lot}} - A_{\text{house}} = 1750\text{ m}^2 - 279\text{ m}^2 = 1471\text{ m}^2 $$
