Answer:
768 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the rectangle = length × width
Length = 75 in
Width = 12 in
Area of the rectangle = length × width
= 75 in x 8 in
= 600 in²
Area of the square = length ²
Length = 12 in
Area of the square = length ²
= 12 in²
= 12 in × 12 in
= 144 in²
Area of a triangle = 1/2bh
b = base = 12 in
h = height = 4 in
Area of a triangle = 1/2bh
= 1/2 * 12 in * 4 in
= (1*12*4)in² / 2
= 48 in² / 2
= 24 in²
Total area of the painted part of the street sign = Area of the rectangle + Area of the square + Area of a triangle
= 600 in² + 144 in² + 24 in²
= 768 in²
