Area of the plastic tarp is 81 m²
What is area of plane shape?
The area of a plane shape refers to the amount of space enclosed by the shape in a two-dimensional space. The formula for calculating the area depends on the specific shape.
Some common formulas for calculating the area of various plane shapes:
Triangle = 1/2(base*height)
Rectangle = length*width
Parallelogram = base * height
Trapezoid= 1/2(sum of bases)*height
Square = (side length)²
Area of square = L²
Where
L is the length of side
L = 9 m
Area = 9²
= 9*9
= 81 m²
Therefore, area of the plastic tarp is 81 m².
