Answer:
8.625 feets²
Explanation:
Based on measurement illustrated in the attached picture :
There are two rectangles and one triangle :
Area of first rectangle :
Area = Length * width
Length = 1.5 ft ; width = 2.5 ft
Area = 1.5 * 2.5
Area = 3.75 ft²
Area of triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Base = 1.5 ; height = 1.5
Area = 1/2 * 1.5 * 1.5
Area = 1.125 ft²
Area of second rectangle :
Area = Length * width
Length = 1.5 ft ; width = 2.5 ft
Area = 1.5 * 2.5
Area = 3.75 ft²
Total area :
(3.75 + 3.75 + 1.125) feets
= 8.625 feets²
