Question

I NEED THIS BEFORE THIS WORK CLOSES IN 2 HOURS AT 12:00

Answer 1

$2703.75

Why? Because...

you count all the squares one by one and then you multiply all the squares by 52.50 because that's how much one square cost

Or you can split the playground up into 3 shapes; a rectangle and 2 triangles

The rectangle is 4 by 11 feet

Triangle 1 is 2 by 3 feet

Triangle 2 is 3 by 3 feet

The formula for a rectangle is base × (times) height

so...

4x11=44

The formula for a triangle is
`(BaseHeight)/(2)`

so for Triangle 1...

its area is 3

and for Triangle 2...

its area is 4.5

The area of the playground is

44+3+4.5=51.5

because each square costs $52.50 you have to multiply each square by 52.50

51.5x52.50=2703.75

Answer 2

Answer: 39.5

Explanation:

the square is 8 by 4. 8x4=32

and the upper triangle is 2 by 3, 2 x 3 = 6, 6 / 2 = 3, so the area of the triangle is 3.

the triangle below is 3 by 3, 3 x 3 = 9, 9 / 2= 4.5 or 4 1/2.

32+3+4.5= 39.5. the area of the shape is 39.5
