Answer:
Area of Figure Shown (Diamond) = 200 square feet
Explanation:
The diamond shape shown can be broken down into two triangles, one on top and one on bottom.
The area of a triangle is:
A = 0.5 * length * height
Lets find the area of the top triangle:
The base length is 20 and the height will be 20 - 15 = 5
So, Area would be:
Area = 0.5 * 20 * 5 = 50
Now, lets find area of bottom triangle (upside down triangle):
The base length is still 20
The height this time is 15 (given)
So, area would be:
Area = 0.5 * 20 * 15 = 150
Total Area (of Diamond) = 150 + 50 = 200 square feet
