Answer:
the answer is C (280 square feet)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, cut the lawn so that it becomes two shapes: a rectangle, and a triangle. Solve for both areas.
A(r) = lw
A(r) = (14)(16)
A(r) = 224 square feet
A(t) = bh/2
A(t) = (8)(14) / 2
A(t) = 112 / 2
A(t) = 56 square feet
Add the two areas:
A(r) + A(t) = Area of lawn
224 square feet + 56 square feet = 280 square feet.
