Answer 1

Answer:

10.125 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Our strategy will be to find the area of each shape, therefore finding the area of each rectangle and the triangle, and then adding all the areas together. So, for the leftmost rectangle, the area is 1.5 ft x 3 ft = 4.5 ft. For the bottom rectangle, the area is the same, due to it having the same side lengths. For the triangle, we can find the area using A = (1/2) x base x height. The base and height are both 1.5, due to them being sides of the two rectangles. Therefore, the area is 1.5 x 1.5 x (1/2) = 1.125. Then, to get the total area we have to add up the areas we've already calculated. Therefore 4.5 + 4.5 + 1.125 = 10.125 ft^2
