Question

(help quickly please!!!!) A city just opened a new playground for children in the community. An image of the land that the playground is on is shown.

What is the area of the playground?

1,654 square yards
3,308 square yards
1,091 square yards
1,584 square yards

Answer 1

1654 yd²

Explanation:

Break the shape up into a rectangle and 2 triangles, find the area of each, then add together to get the total area.

A-rectangle = l x w = 45 x 25 = 1125

A-triangle1 = 1/2bh = 1/2(14)(25 + 12) = 259

A-triangle2 = 1/2(45)(12) = 270

Total area = 1125 + 259 + 270 = 1654 yd²
