1. you would take 36×1/4 and then it would equal 9
2. you would take 24×1/4 and then it would equal 6
(1) From the information given, if we want to choose 5 colors from 8 distinct colors and the order in which the selection is made is relevant, then what we have is a permutation.
The formula is given as;

This formula means we need to select/arrange r items out of a total of n items and the anwer derived would be the total number of arrangements possible.
Therefore, we would have;

Therefore, if the order is relevant, this selection can be done in 6,720 ways.
(2) If the order is NOT relevant, then what we need to calculate is a combination and the formula is;

The formula can now be applied as follows;

If the order is not relevant, then the selection can be done in 56 ways.
Answer:
57 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the area of the triangle on the left
ABC
It has a base AC which is 9 units and a height of 3 units
A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 9) *3 = 27/2 = 13.5
Then find the area of the triangle on the right
DE
It has a base AC which is 6 units and a height of 1 units
A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 6) *1 = 3
Then find the area of the triangle on the top
It has a base AC which is 3 units and a height of 3 units
A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 3) *3 = 9/2 = 4.5
Then find the area of the rectangular region
A = lw = 6*6 = 36
Add them together
13.5+3+4.5+36 =57 units^2
