Please help!! I need the answer!!

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is Area = 39.15 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

See the picture below

Process

1.- Calculate the area of rectangle 1

Area = base x height

Area = (8.8)(6.55 - 4.3)

Area = (8.8)(2.25)

Area = 19.8 in²

2.- Calculate the area of rectangle 2

Area = (4.3)(2.25)

Area = 9.675 in²

3.- Calculate the area of rectangle 3

Area = (4.3)(2.25)

Area = 9.675 in²

4.- Calculate the total area

Area = 19.8 + 9.675 + 9.675

Area = 39.15 in²

Second way

Area 1 = 2[6.55 x 2.25]

Area 1 = 29.475 in²

Area 2 = (8.8 - 2.25 - 2.25)(6.55 - 4.3)

Area 2 = 4.3 x 2.25

Area 2 = 9.675 in²

Total area = 29.475 + 9.675

                 = 39.15 in²

Third way

Area 1 = (8.8 - 2.25)(6.55 - 4.3)

          = (6.55)(2.25)

          = 14.7375 in²

Area 2 = (4.3)(2.25)

           = 9.675 in²

Area 3 = (6.55)(2.25)

           = 14.7375 in²

Total area = 14.7375 + 9.675 + 14.7375

                 = 39.15 in²
