Question

Brianna used two congruent parallelograms and a square to create the figure shown.

What is the area of the figure Brianna created in square feet?

Answer 1

33 3/4 ft2 I’m pretty sure

Answer 2

33 3/4 ft²

Explanation:

The figure comprises of a square with side of 4 1/2 ft and two parallelograms with base of 4 1/2 ft and height of 1 1/2 ft

Total area is:

(4 1/2)² + 2(4 1/2)( 1 1/2) =

(4 1/2)( 4 1/2 + 2(1 1/2)) =

9/2(9/2 + 3) =

9/2(15/2) =

135/4 =

33 3/4 ft²
