Question

Sarah would like to build a garden this year. Sarah measured out the outside of her proposed garden and would like to know how many square feet of space she will have to use. Calculate the area of her garden from the picture below.

Answer 1

139.5

Explanation:

First you take 7*6 then 5*7 and add them you get 77.

Then the next part is finding the area of a trapezoid (a+b)/2*h then you plug the numbers in (8+17)/2*5=62.5

Add 77+62.5=139.5
