Answer:
110 cm² (110 square cm)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this we first need to find the entire area of the carpet
Area = L × W
17 cm × 8 cm = 136 cm²
Now that we have the area of the whole carpet, we can find the area of the table and the bench
5 cm × 4 cm = 20 cm²
4 cm × 1.5 cm = 6 cm²
Now we can subtract the areas of the bench and the table to find how much of the carpet is showing
136 cm² - 20 cm² - 6 cm² = 110 cm²
