Question

You want to frost a 13 in. by 9 in. cake that you just baked when you notice your little brother ate a piece right out of the middle. What area of cake is left to be frosted if he ate a 2 in. by 2 in. piece? no links pls :) thanks will give brainliest

Answer 1

Answer:

113 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

13 times 9 is 117 inches (this is the area for the whole cake)

2 times 2 is 4 (this is just the middle)

But since the brother ate the middle you will have to subtract the area of the middle piece from the whole area.

117-4 is 113 so the area now is 113 inches
