An interior designer wants to place this bed in a home, and she is especially concerned about the headboard, which is 6 feet wide and 5 feet tall.

She’ll place the headboard on a wall that is 7 feet wide and 9 feet tall.

what is the area of the space that will remain after she places the bed against the wall.

1 answer

area of headboard = 6(5) ft^2
area of wall = 7(9) ft^2

take the difference of the two.
