1) answer: 120 ft^2
steps: find the area of the large box
8 x 12 (width x length)
= 96
find the area of the small box
**find the length by subtracting the side already used (8) from 14
=6
6 x 4
= 24
add the two to get the total area
24 + 96
= 120
2) answer: C
steps: know that 3 x 24 = 72 which would match the area of the original triangle to the new one.
Rectangles have 4 sides with two pairs of matching lengths
find perimeter by adding 3 + 3 + 24 + 24
= 54
54 does NOT equal 36
this is the answer
*** none of the others have the same area otherwise you would need to guess + check answer choices to find the correct one.
