Answer:
Part a: 144
Part B: 1.44
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: We need to find the area of the figure.
The figure is composed of a rectangle and a triangle.
Let find the area of the rectangle
- Area of rectangle is length x width
- The length is 8 ft( the 12 represent the length of the full side with the triangle on it).
- The width is 16.
- So
- [tex]16 \times 8 = 132[/tex]
- is the area of the rectangle.
- Let find the area of the triangle
- Area of triangle is base x height/2.
- The base is 6 becuase that side measures 16 and we already know the side of one part of it. 16-10=6
- The height is 4 because the same reason above.
- So
- [tex] \frac{6 \times 4}{2} = 12[/tex]
- Add up both areas
- [tex]132 + 12 = 144[/tex]
The area is 144 sq ft
Part B: Divide 144 by 100.
[tex] \frac{144}{100} = 1.44[/tex]
The answer is 1.44
