Question

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

Answer 1

The answer is 40 square feet
Because
=(4×12)-(3×2)-(1×2)
=48-6-2
=40square feet

Answer 2

If you’re talking about the two holes in that image, you just need to find the area for both and add them up.
3ftx2ft=6ft^2
1ftx2ft=2ft^2
6ft^2+2ft^2=8ft^2
