<u>I believe I have to calculate the area of the shape. I'll do that.</u>
Answer:
<em>Total area = 23.04 square m</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Area of a compound shape</u>
The shape shown in the figure can be divided into two smaller rectangles. We need to find their dimensions.
The single tick in the 2 m side indicates the other side also measures 2 m. This means the width of one of the smaller rectangles is 5.2m - 2 m = 3.2 m
The double tick in the 5.2 m also indicates the length of that smaller rectangle is 5.2 m. Thus the two rectangles have their respective areas as:
A1 = 5.2 m * 3.2 m = 16.64 square m
A2 = 2 m * 3.2 m = 6.4 square m
The total area is:
At = 16.64 square m + 6.4 square m = 23.04 square m
Total area = 23.04 square m
-4m-8=-8-4m
+4 +4

-8=-8

1=1
Convert your feet to inches.
So 8 times by 12 = 96 inches
if you have 3/4 of the board used.
3/4= .75
if you were to times 96 by .75 = 72 inches.
So you used 72 inches and you have 24 inches left
now do 1/3= .33
times .33 by 24= 8
8 inches is how long you would give to Anthony's brother.
