Question

The diagram shows the dimensions of a school playground. What is the area of the playground?

Answer 1

1574yd^2

Explanation:

i split into 3, 2 rectangles and a triangle

40 x 30 = 1200

30 - 8 = 22 (height)

60 - 40 = 20 (width)

14 x 22 = 308

20 - 14 = 6 (base of triangle)

formula of triangle = (b x h) / 2

6 x 22 = 132 / 2 = 66

1200 + 66 + 308 = 1574
