Question

A board is created based on the given design. The white space is blank. What would be the area of the board? 22 ft 4 ft 5 ft 18 ft 5 ft

Answer 1

Solution

For this case we can do the following:

A = b*h

Where h = height and b = base

So the total area is :

22ft * 18 ft = 396 ft^2

If we analyze the whitespace area we can see that we have a square and a triangle

The area of the square is given by:

a1 = 5ft* 4ft= 20 ft^2

And the area of the triangle is given by:

a2 = (5*5)/2 = 12.5 ft

Then the final answer for this case would be:

A f= 396 - (20+12.5) ft^2 = 363.5 ft^2
