Answer: 12 square units</h3>
Explanation:
Rectangle ABDE is 4 units across the horizontal, and 2 units tall.
The area of this rectangle is length*width = 4*2 = 8 square units.
Triangle BCD has a base of 4 and height 2. The area of which is base*height/2 = 4*2/2 = 4 square units.
The total area is
rectangle + triangle = 8 + 4 = 12 square units
First turn 1/2 to 2/4 so you have a common denominator.
Next turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
11 3/4 --> 47/4 and 8 2/4 --> 34/4
Subtract:
47/4 - 34/4 = 13/4
Divide:
13/4 = 3.25
3.25/2 --> 1.625 or 1 5/8
Therefore, he will have to place it 1 5/8 feet from each side
