A rectangular room is 14 feet by 20 feet. A rectangular rug is placed in the room so that a 2-foot border of floor around the edge of the room is not covered by the rug. What is the area of the rug?

the rug should be 10 feet by 16 feet

this makes the area 160 foot squared

Step-by-step explanation:

there is a 2 foot border on each side so the total area loses 4 feet from length. this gives 10 feet by 16 feet.

160

top correct lol

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
