Can someone please help with this i don’t know how to do it 85points

Answer 1

93 ft^2.

Explanation:

Divide the figure into 3 shapes; a triangle (top), and two rectangles (one in the middle and one on the bottom).

First find the area of the rectangle;

10*6 = 60 save that for later;

The dimensions of the second rectangle are not given but you can solve for them.

The width of the base of the second rectangle will be 10ft. - 4 ft. , this is because the base of the first rectangle is part of the base of the second rectangle with a length of 4 ft cut off.

The height of the second rectangle is given by 9ft. - 6ft.

Multiply the width (base) and height;

6*3=18

The base of the triangle is the same as the second rectangle's. Use that for the base. The height is given by 8-(the height of the second rectangle). The height is 5 and the base is 6.

1/2(5*6) = 15

Add all of the values together;

15+18+60 = 93 ft^2

Answer 2

Explanation:

You can find the area by cutting it across in the middle into a trapezoid and a rectangle.

The trapezoid will have:

height = 10-4 = 6ft

top = 9-6 = 3ft

bottom = 8ft

So its area = 1/2*(3+8)*6 = 33 ft^2

The rectangle will have:

length = 10ft

width = 6ft

So its area = 10*6 = 60 ft^2

Total area = 60+33 = 93 ft^2
