First, let's work out the two triangles:
Area of triangle: bxh/2
2 x 8/2 = 8
Because there is two triangles multiply 8 by 2 = 16
To work out the area of the central rectangle:
Area of rectangle: l x w
3 x 8 = 24
Add 16+24 = 40 square feet
First row, the answer on the left , -5 3/4 - 4 2/3
Let the no. Of horses be x
9÷2 = 72÷x
