Question

Do any of y'all know how to do this I'm so confused and I need help ​plz

Answer 1

8.625 ft, second option

Explanation:

For the rectangles:

1.5 * 2.5 = 3.75

So, 3.75 ft for one rectangle

But there are two rectangles, so:

3.75 * 2 = 7.5

So now the area is 7.5ft for both rectangle.

For the triangle:

Triangle formula - 1/2 × Base × Height

In this case both the base and the height are 1.5 so next step is multiplying by plugging in the numbers

1/2 * 1.5 * 1.5 = 1.125

So the area for the triangle is 1.125 ft

Total area:

Now you just add the numbers you got which is 7.5 and 1.125

7.5 + 1.125 = 8.625

The area is 8.625 ft
