I’m pretty sure it’s B. But I could be wrong.
Base x height of each of the blocks and then add them together.
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
