3.60 ft²
4.35 ft²
15.21 ft²

Answer 1

the answer is 3.6 i know because i am a nerd

Answer 2

You are basically trying to find the area of two triangles and a rectangle.

Rectangle= A= length*width

Triangle= A= 1/2*base*height

Rectangle:

1.5*1.9= 2.85

Two triangles:

A= 1/2* 0.5*1.5
A=1/2*.75
A=0.375

Multiply that by two, because the triangles are the same.

.75

.75+2.85= 3.6

3.60 ft^2 <== the answer

I hope this helps!
