Question

What is the total area, in square feet, of the figure? (If possible please explain how you got your answer)

Answer 1

Answer:

This is going to be really long so sorry in advance :)). So i split the shape into two (so straight down).This therefore allows me to calculate the areas of both rectangles and add them together - (to give total area)

Area of A x(x^2-6)

=x^3-6x

Area of B

=(2x^3-5x^2-12x+14) (5x-14)

10x^4-28x^3-25^3-70x^2-60x^2+168x+70x-196

simplified: 10x^4-53^3-130x^2+238x-196

so add both areas to give total are:

=(x^3-6x) +(10x^4-53x^3-130x^2+238x-196)

=10x^4-52x^3-130x^2+232x-196

Thats it hope it helps :)
