Step 1) Divide the figure into separate shapes
Long rectangle: 27 x 5
Triangle: 3 x 4
Middle rectangle: 15 x 7
Small rectangle: 6 x 3
Step 2) Find the area of each shape
Long rectangle: A = 27 x 5 = 135
Triangle: A = 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 6
Middle rectangle: A = 15 x 7 = 105
Small rectangle: 6 x 3 = 18
Step 3) Add all of the areas together
A = 135 + 6 + 105 + 18 = 264 square feet
Hope this helps! :)
One-eighth represents one part of a whole that consists of eight units, but one-twelfth represents one part of a whole that consists of 12 units. Fractions are made up of numerators and denominators. Numerators are the top numbers and denominators are the bottom numbers. The numerator is the number that represents the part of a whole. The denominator is the total number of parts.
