You would find the area of the rug and subtract it from the area of the room.

Reese Daniel · Answer 2

So, first you have to find the area of the floor and carpet alone. so for the carpet, it would be

12 x 10 = 120 ft (for the floor)

and

7 x 5 = 35 ft (for the carpet)

now, to find the area of the floor that isn't covered by the rug, you subtract them.

120 - 35 = 85 ft 85 ft is your answer
