Question

Mr. Cole made this diagram of his bedroom. Which is the area of Mr. Cole’s bedroom? 90 square feet 82 square feet 72 square feet 36 square feet

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 82 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to do this is to split it into two rectanlges. You can do 10*5 and 8*4 as the dimensions to the two rectangles or you can do 2*4 and 9*8.

I am going to do the first option.

The area of a rectangle is length times width.

Rectangle one can be the one with the dimensions 10 and 5 and the length and width.

Rectangle two can be the one with the dimensions 8 and 4 and the length and width.

Area of rectangle one = 50 feet^2

Area of rectangle two = 32 feet^2

Since we split a large irregular shape into two bits, we must add them together, which results in 82 feet^2.
