Answer 1

Answer:

Area of Figure Shown (Diamond) = 200 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diamond shape shown can be broken down into two triangles, one on top and one on bottom.

The area of a triangle is:

A = 0.5 * length * height

Lets find the area of the top triangle:

The base length is 20 and the height will be 20 - 15 = 5

So, Area would be:

Area = 0.5 * 20 * 5 = 50

Now, lets find area of bottom triangle (upside down triangle):

The base length is still 20

The height this time is 15 (given)

So, area would be:

Area = 0.5 * 20 * 15 = 150

Total Area (of Diamond) = 150 + 50 = 200 square feet
