Answer:

122 ft^2.

Explanation:

This area can be divided into 2 rectangles:

One of size 14 * 4 = 56 ft^2 and

another of size (15 - 4)* 6 = 66ft^2

Total 66 + 56 = 122 ft^2.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's start with the bigger portion of the non-shaded area.

It is 15*6 because it is showing us that the distance between the non-shded area and the shaded area is 6 feet, if we slide that over, it is exactly what we need. So...

15*6=90 feet

Now, the smaller part. BTW, we are pretending there is a line from the bottom left corner of the shaded, straight across to the real line at the 14.

That being said, we need to subtract 6 from 14 to get the dimension.

So...

14-6= 8 feet.

It tells us that the width is 4 feet.

8*4= 32.

Now we have to add. 32+90=122feet squared.

making the answer, B

Hope this helps!!!
