Answer 1

Given data:

The given figure is shown.

The length of the sheet is L= 2(15 in) =30 in.

The width of the sheet is W=2(12 in)= 24 in.

The area of the sheet not covered by the painting is,

`\begin{gathered} A^(\prime)=(30\text{ in)(24 in)-}(15\text{ in)(12 in)} \\ =(720-180)in^2 \\ =540in^2 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the area of the sheet which is not covered by the painting is 540 sq-inches.
