Answer:
38 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the green area.
The hole has the shape of a polynomial made up of a rectangle and a triangle. The rectangle has length 8 ft and width 3 ft. The triangle has base 7 ft and height 4 ft.
area of rectangle = length * width
area of triangle = base * height / 2
The total area is the sum of the areas of the rectangle and the triangle.
area = area of rectangle + area of triangle
area = LW + bh/2
area = 8 ft * 3 ft + 7 ft * 4 ft/2
area = 24 ft^2 + 28 ft^2/2
area = 24 ft^2 + 14 ft^2
area = 38 ft^2
