Question

6.
Area:
30 in
22 in
25 in
28 in

Answer 1

565 inches

Explanation:

We have a rectangle and a triangle cutout within the rectangle. To find this, we must first determine the areas of both objects.

Rectangle's area is length (L) times width (W), or A=LW

In this case, we have 30 * 28 which is 840 inches.

Triangle's area is one half times length (L) times width (W), or 1/2 * L * W = A

In this case, we have 1/2 * 22 * 25 which gets us 275 inches.

Now because the triangle is a cutout, we do subtraction.

Area of Rectangle - Area of Triangle = 840 - 275 = 565 inches.
