square feet of lumber needs to be purchased. Find the total area of the deck.
A)25 ft2
B)50 ft2
C)7512
D) 125 f2

Answer 1

The total area of the deck is D) 125 ft^2

Answer 2

D) 125 ft^2

Explanation:

We wil accept the shape as a rectangle to ease things up,

We find the area of rectangle by multiplying height × width

15×10 = 150

since it's not a complete rectangle we subtract 5×5 = 25 from 150

Therefore the area of the deck is 125 ft^2
