Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is "3600 ft²".

Left triangle area=(1/2) x (30 ft) x (72 ft) = 1080 ft²


Middle walkway area=(20 ft) x (72 ft) = 1440 ft²


Right triangle area
=same as left triangle area, 1080 ft²


Total area1080 ft²+1440 ft²+1080 ft² = 3600 ft²
Now you can also check that;

Parallelogram area = base x height = (50 ft) x (72 ft) = 3600 ft²
