Question

Mr. Velasquez built a playground. It has one section with a slide and another section with a swing set. A pathway connects the two areas. The slide is 2 meters high. The ares and the pathway are covered in asphalt. Mr velasquez want to know how much of the playground is covered in asphalt

Answer 1

`A_1 = 24m^2` -- Swing set

`A_2 = 16m^2` -- Slide

`A_3 = 5m^2` --- Pathway

Explanation:

Missing part of the question:

Fill in the table above to show the area of each section (see attachment for table)

The area of each section is calculated as:

`Area = Length * Width`

For the Swing set

`A_1 = 8m * 3m`

`A_1 = 24m^2`

For the Slide

`A_2 = 8m * 2m`

`A_2 = 16m^2`

For the Pathway

`A_3 = 5m * 1m`

`A_3 = 5m^2`

The total area is:

`Area=A_1 + A_2 + A_3`

`Area = 24m^2 + 16m^2 + 5m^2`

`Area = 45m^2`
