Question

Hey guys please help find the area

Answer 1

Answer:

70.15 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure consists of two adjacent equilateral triangles (all angles are 60 degrees and all outer edges are 9 ft).

If we focus on one of these equilateral triangles, we can get the final area by multiplying the area of that one triangle by 2.

The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)(base)(height).  Remembering to multiply this by 2, we get

area of figure = (base)(height)

                                             √3

                       = (9 ft)(9 ft)(--------) = (81 ft²)(1.732) = 70.15 ft²
