The perimeter of the triangular end is 12 m, so the total rectangular area is
.. (12 m)*(8 m) = 96 m^2
There are two triangles with base 3 m and height 4 m, so their total area is
.. (3 m)*(4 m) = 12 m^2
The surface area of the figure is the sum of these
.. 96 m^2 +12 m^2 = 108 m^2
The number of possible seats is an illustration of permutation
There are 1728 possible sitting arrangements
<h3>How to determine the number of seats</h3>
From the question, we have the following highlights:
- Chris can only take 1 seat (i.e. the central seat)
- Jo can take 2 seats (i.e. the seats adjacent the central seat)
- Alex, Barb and Dave can take 3! number of seats
- Eddie, Fred, and Gareth can take 3! number of seats on the right of Chris.
- The remaining 4 adults do not have preference, then they can seat in 4! ways
So, the number of sitting arrangement is:

Evaluate the product

Hence, there are 1728 possible sitting arrangements
