Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
triangular base area
1/2 bh = 1/2 (44 in)(64 in)
= 1/2 (2,816 sq in)
= 1,408 sq in.
2 x 1,408 sq in = 2,816 sq in.
step 2
end rectangle area
lw = (68 in)(69 in)
= 4,692 sq in
2 x 4,692 sq in = 9,384 sq in
Now find the area of the middle rectangle
lw - (69 in) (44 in) = 3,039 sq in.
then add all the areas together
2,816 + 9,384 + 3,036 = 15,236 sq in
