Answer 1

Answer:

128 ft^2. You are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the family room is a smaller rectangle above a larger rectangle.

We need to find the lengths and widths of both rectangles.

The length of the larger rectangle is 12 ft.

The width of the larger rectangle is 9 ft. You can see the sides labeled 12 ft and 9 ft right on the figure.

To find the length and width of the smaller rectangle on the top left, you need to subtract.

The length is 12 ft - 7 ft = 5 ft

The width is 13 ft - 9 ft = 4 ft

Now we find the areas using the lengths and widths, and we add them.

Area of large rectangle = L * W = 12 ft * 9 ft = 108 ft^2

Area of small rectangle = L * W = 5 ft * 4 ft = 20 ft^2

Total area of room:

108 ft^2 + 20 ft^2 = 128 ft^2

Answer: 128 ft^2
