First, we find the area of the rectangular room.
Area of a rectangle is length x width
A = 32 x 21
A = 672
Second, we find the area of the mat
A = 6 x 2
A = 12
Since Mr. Ron put 8 mats, we multiply the area of the mat by 8.
A = 12 x 8
A = 96
Finally, subtract the area of the room by the area of the 8 mats.
672 - 96 = 576
576 feet of the floor is left uncovered by the mats
