Question

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?

Answer 1

Answer: 66 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Break up the shape into three separate shapes

8 * 3 = 24 for the rectangle

There are 2 triangles

The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2(b)(h)

1 of the triangles has a base of 4 and height of 12

1/2(4)(12) = 24

The other triangle has a base of 3 and height of 12

1/2(3)(12) = 18

24 + 24+ 18 = 66
