Question

A utility line runs underground through Ursula's rectangular backyard. Ursula is not allowed to dig within 4 feet of the utility line. The diagram below shows the dimensions of Ursula's backyard in feet. The dashed line represents the utility line.

Answer 1

it's 272 feet square because if it is the area then you can dig it

A = bh

A = 22(17) -6(17)

A = 272
