Question

40 points if answered correctly!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer: 1520 square feet

Step-by-step explanation: Find the area of the triangle on the right. The bases are 38 and 40. Use the formula 1/2(l*w). 38*40=1520. 1520/2=760.

Next find the area of the triangle on the left. Since it's a parallelogram, both the top and bottom will be the same, so the other base is 40 ft. This also means that the area will be the same, so its area is also 760.

Finally add up the areas of the two triangles. 760+760=1520.

Answer 2

760 feet

Explanation:

Area of the parallelogram = base times height

So 40 times 38 = 1520 feet

Area of rectangular walkway = 38 times 20 = 760

1520-760=760
