Question

a driveway consists of two rectangles one rectangle is 80 ft long and 15 ft wide the other is 30 ft long and 30 ft wide what is the area of the driveway ​

Answer 1

To find the area of the driveway, we need to find the area of both rectangles and add them together.

The area of the first rectangle is:

80 ft x 15 ft = 1200 sq ft

The area of the second rectangle is:

30 ft x 30 ft = 900 sq ft

To find the total area of the driveway, we add the two areas together:

1200 sq ft + 900 sq ft = 2100 sq ft

Therefore, the area of the driveway is 2100 square feet.

Answer 2

Answer: 2100 square feet

Explanation:

To solve this question we must add the areas of the two rectangles.

area = length x width

Rect 1:

a = lw

= 80 x 15 = 1200 square feet

Rect 2:

a = lw

= 30 x 30 = 900 square feet

so in total, the driveway is 1200 + 900 = 2100 square feet
