Calculate the area of the square carpet:The area of a square is side times side{Area of Carpet} = 2{ m} times 2{ m} = 4{ sq.m}3. Calculate the un-carpeted area:To find the area not covered by the carpet, subtract the carpet area from the total floor area:{Un-carpeted Area} = {Total Area} - {Carpet Area} {Un-carpeted Area} = 18{ sq.m} - 4{ sq.m} = 14{ sq.m}
