Answer:
153 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure is drawn in the attachment with some lengths and points labeled.
The figure can be considered to have an area that is the sum of the areas of rectangle ABFE and triangle FGH, with the area of triangle BCD subtracted.
That area is ...
A = area(ABFE) +area(FGH) -area(BCD)
= (15)(9) +(1/2)(9)(6) -(1/2)(6)(3)
= 135 +27 -9 = 153 . . . square units
Hi there
So, if the track is 1/8 of a mile, let's call every lap a "one-eighth mile" run. We know John ran 24 laps, or that he ran 24 "one-eighth miles," just consecutive, one right after another. Let's stop worrying about rates or tricks or math for a second, and just ask: how many real miles is 24 "one-eighth" miles? We know it's less than 24---a lot less, since you have to go around 8 times just to get to 1 mile. Well wait, if we go around 8 times, we get 1 mile. That means if we go around 28, or 16 times, we get 2 miles; And let's just think to the next full mile---if we go 38, or 24 times, we get 3 miles. He did go around 24 times, so he must have run 3 miles on a 1/8 track.
Division and multiplication are inverses of each other. So we solved this by looking for an intuition for how many full miles corresponded to how many laps, with a bunch of steps of multiplication. But you can cut right to the chase and solve it faster with division---24 laps * 1 mile per 8 laps, means:
total distance = 24 Lap (1 mi / 8 Lap) total distance = 24/8 total distance = 3
