Can someone add all this up?

Answer 1

Find the total area .

Answer:-

First way :-

Simple addition :- Add all the area for the solution

$180 + 180 + 48 + 48 + 48 + 48 + 48 + 96 + 96 + 144 = 936 \: ft {}^{2}$

Second method:-

Take common and then multiple and then add

$180 + 180 + 48 + 48 + 48 + \\ 48 + 48 + 96 + 96 \\ taking \: common \: out \: \\ 180(1 + 1) + 48(1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1) \\ + 96(1 + 1) + 144 \\ 180(2) + 48(5) + 96(2) + 144 \\ (360 + 240 + 192 + 144)( {ft}^{2} ) \\ 936 {ft}^{2} is \: your \: total \: area$
