Question

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?

Answer 1

So since we already know that rectangle 1 is 24 ft squared and rectangle 2 is 12 ft squared

You just need to add.

24+12=36

So, for this hole you will need 36 feet squared of outdoor carpet.

Answer 2

24 square feet + 12 square feet = total square feet?
