A rectangular floor is covered by a rug except for a strip X meters wide along each of the four edge. If the floor is L meters by B meters, what is the area of the rug in square meters?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers: A) (L-2X)(B-2X)/2 B) 2*(L-2X)(B-2X) C) (L-2X)(B-2X)/3 D) (L-2X)(B-2X) E) (L-2X)(B-2X)/4
A strip of X meters is covering the inner rectangular rug for all 4 sides.   Length of inner rug = L-(2X)   breadth of inner rug= B-(2X)   Area of Rug= (L-2X)(B-2X)   Ânswer: (L-2X)(B-2X)
