Question

The area is ___ square units

Answer 1

`132 \: {ft}^(2)`

Explanation:

Required area = Area of rectangle with dimensions 16 ft and 6 ft + Area of trapezoid with bases (16 - 2 = 14) 14 ft, 10 ft and height 3 ft.

`= 16 * 6 + (1)/(2) (14 + 10)3 \\ \\ = 96 + (1)/(2) * 24 * 3 \\ \\ = 96 + 12 * 3 \\ \\ = 96 + 36 \\ \\ = 132 \: {ft}^(2)`

Answer 2

132 \: {ft}^{2} 132ft

2

Explanation:

Required area = Area of rectangle with dimensions 16 ft and 6 ft + Area of trapezoid with bases (16 - 2 = 14) 14 ft, 10 ft and height 3 ft.

\begin{gathered} = 16 \times 6 + \frac{1}{2} (14 + 10)3 \\ \\ = 96 + \frac{1}{2} \times 24 \times 3 \\ \\ = 96 + 12 \times 3 \\ \\ = 96 + 36 \\ \\ = 132 \: {ft}^{2} \end{gathered}
