Question

19. Ricardo needs to pave the two rectangular sectons shown. Detumng the total area that Ricardo needs to pave.

Answer 1

we need to sum the two areas

First Area

Area of the rectangle is

`A=b* h`
`\begin{gathered} (2)/(5)*(9)/(10) \\ \\ (18)/(50)=(9)/(25) \end{gathered}`

Second Area

`A=b* h`
`\begin{gathered} (3)/(5)*(3)/(5) \\ \\ =(9)/(25) \end{gathered}`

Sum the areas

`\begin{gathered} (9)/(25)+(9)/(25) \\ \\ (9+9)/(25)=(18)/(25) \end{gathered}`

the total area is 18/25 square meter
