1 answer:
Answer: 24 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
It appears the shaded area of the rectangle is half of the rectangle's area. This means if we find the area of the rectangle and divide it by 2 we will know the area of the shaded portion.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is
Where
l is the length (8 for this)
w is the width (6 for this)
A is the area
However, since we are finding half the area we will divide lw by 2
Sub the values into the formula

Answer:
189 ft ^ 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing to do is locate the points given in the exercises on a Cartesian plane, attached figure.
After doing this, we can see that the pool is shaped like two continuous rectangles. We must calculate the area of each and add them to obtain the value of the total area of the pool.
For the small rectangle, if we see the figure we can see that one side measures 3 units and the side 2 units.
We know that the area of a rectangle is the multiplication of its sides:
A = 3 * 2 = 6 square units.
For the large rectangle, if we look at the figure we can see that one side measures 5 units and the side 3 units.
A = 5 * 3 = 15 square units.
So the total area would be:
15 + 6 = 21 square units
It tells us that a square unit measures 9 square feet, therefore the area would be:
21 * 9 = 189 ft ^ 2
Therefore the pool area has an area of 189 square feet.
