Question

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?

Answer 1

first, break up the entire thing into smaller rectangles then find the area of all of those rectangles and add them together to get 30 square feet.

Answer 2

30 ft

Area= base*height ad you want the sum of the areas of each rectangle.

The top one had an are of 8 [4*2]
The middle one had an area of 12 [6*2]
The bottom one had an area of 10 [5*2]

8+12+10=30!
