Question

Using the method of splitting a complex shape into smaller, standard figures, find the area of Vivian’s house using only points provided in the diagram.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step expVivian’s house area can be split into two rectangles: FLSU and MNSR.

area of rectangle FLSU

= length × width

= (FU) × (FL)

= 30 × 25

= 750 square feet

area of rectangle MNSR

= length × width

= (MS) × (MN)

= 38 × 25

= 950 square feet

area of Vivian’s house

= area of rectangle FLSU+ area of rectangle MNSR

= 750 square feet + 950 square feet

= 1,700 square feet
