Answer provided by our tutors
the total area being carpeted = the total area of the room - the stage area
the total area of the room = area of a square with 25-foot sides
the total area of the room = 25 * 25
the total area of the room = 625 ft^2
the stage area = area of a rectangle with 10 feet by 15 feet dimensions
the stage area = 10 * 15
the stage area = 150 ft^2
the total area being carpeted = 625 - 150
the total area being carpeted = 475 ft^2
the total area being carpeted is 475 square feet.
