I will give you the formula and teach you how to solve this. Let’s start with finding the area of both the right triangles.
The formula is, base x height / 2 = area
Triangle 1 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Triangle 2 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Rectangle - 8x3 = 24
Add them up: 24 + 8 + 8 = 40 square feet
I hope this wasn’t to confusing
Answer:
The other dimension of the pasture (width) is 
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem I assume that the pasture has the shape of a rectangle.
Let
x -----> the length of the pasture
y -----> the width of the pasture
we know that
The area of the pasture (rectangle) is equal to

we have


substitute and solve for y
