Question

harmona is installing a kitchen counter that is 9 feet by 3 feet. the counter has a hole in it for a sink that is 2 feet by 3 feet. what is the area of the kitchen counter? complete the equation to calculate the area. (□ × 3) - (2 × □) = □ ft²

Explanation:

Step1: Find area of full counter

$\text{Area}_{\text{counter}} = 9 \times 3 = 27$ $\text{ft}^2$

Step2: Find area of sink hole

$\text{Area}_{\text{sink}} = 2 \times 3 = 6$ $\text{ft}^2$

Step3: Subtract sink area from counter

$\text{Area}_{\text{final}} = 27 - 6 = 21$ $\text{ft}^2$

Answer:

$(9 \times 3) - (2 \times 3) = 21$ $\text{ft}^2$
