Question

What is the area of the driveway

Answer 1

H. 265

Explanation:

First we need to divide the driveway into two sections.

The first section's dimensions is 14 by 8:

1. 25 - 17 = 8
2. 14 * 8 = 112

The area of the first section is 112

The second section's dimensions is 17 by 9

1. 17 * 9 = 153

The area of the second section is 153

Now we need to add the two sections together to get the area of the whole driveway:

112 + 153 = 265

Final Answer:

H. 265

Answer 2

H. 265

Explanation:

Draw a segment as shown in the picture below to create two rectangles.

Now find the areas of the two rectangles and add them together.

Use subtraction to find the length and width of the smaller rectangle as shown in the picture.

total area = LW + lw

total area = 25 × 9 + 8 × 5

total area = 265
