Question

The top surface of a desk composed of two rectangles some side lengths of the top surface of Des garcons what is the area of the top surface of the desk in square feet

Answer 1

The area of the top surface is: 8.625ft^2

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for top surface

Required

Determine the surface area of the top surface

From the attachment, the top surface has the following shapes and dimensions.

1) Rectangle: 1.5ft by 2.5ft

2) Rectangle: 2.5ft by 1.5ft

3) Triangle: Base and Height = 1.5ft

So, the area of the top surface is:

Area = Area of [Rectangle + Rectangle + Triangle]

`Area= 1.5 * 2.5 + 2.5 * 1.5 + 0.5 * 1.5 * 1.5`

`Area= 8.625ft^2`
