Question

Liza and Abby plan to spread out blankets at a park for a picnic with some friends. The park is crowded, so they end up overlapping the blankets as is shown in the diagram.

Answer 1

Answer: 44.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of pink blanket is considering A=5\times 5.7=28.5 and the area of a rectangle is A=l\times w .

Now we have area of the pink blanket which is 28.5.

The area of blue blanket - A=24=6 x 4

Area of a triangle: A= 1/2 x base x height and that is 1/2 x 4 x 4 which is 8. and that is the area of both blankets.

Now, pink blanket 28.5 x blue blanket 24 minus 8 is giving us the number that is referring to total area that is covered and that is 44.5 ft²
