Question

HELP ME PLS THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE TONIGHT AND TURNED IN TOMORROW The Hamiltons are paving their driveway. They are paving a rectangular area and an area in the shape of a parallelogram to make it easier to turn around and pull out of the driveway. A sketch of the plan for their driveway uses a scale of 1 in. for every 3 ft. What is the actual area of the entire driveway they want to pave? ​

Answer 1

1350 ft²

Explanation:

First off, I notice that the triangle at the bottom can fit the slant at the top to make a perfect rectangle.

This will leave us with a rectangle. We can add up 4 and 5 for the sum of 9, making one side 9 inches.

5 + 4 = 9 in

We multiply 9 by 3 to get the actual length of that side

9 x 3 = 27 ft.

We multiply 16 and two-thirds by 3 to get the actual length of the other side

`16(2)/(3)` x 3 = 50 ft.

To find the area of this rectangle we multiply length and width

50 x 27 = 1350 ft²
