Question

The diagram below shows the dimensions of a rectangular house with a rectangular backyard. What is the total area, in square feet, of the house and backyard?

Answer 1

D) 5,200

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of a r rectangle: l x w, where l is the length and w is width.

Area of the backyard: 50 x 80

= 4,000 ft

Area of the house: 40 x 30

= 1,200 ft

Total = 4,000 + 1,200

= 5,200 ft²
