Step-by-Step Calculation:
1.Calculate the total area of the floor:

The floor is a rectangle, so its area is length width
{Area of Floor} = 6{ m} times  {3{ m} = 18{sq.m}

2. Calculate the area of the square carpet:

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}
