Answer 1

Answer:

It can be decomposed into the following simplest shapes:

TWO RECTANGLES AND ONE TRIANGLE  

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe in the picture attached that it can be decomposed into the following simplest shapes:

Two Rectangles.

One Triangle.

Because,

The area of the a rectangle can be found with:

A= lw

Where "l" is the length and "w" is the width.

You can identify in the picture that:

lA: 14 ft

Wa: 13ft -7ft= 6ft

1b= 20 ft

wb= 7ft

So, Substituting the values, you get that the areas of the rectangles A and B are:

Aa: (14ft) (6ft)= 84ft²

Ab: (20ft) (7ft) = 140ft²

The formula for the area of a triangle is:

A= $bh/2$

Where "b" is the base and "h" is the height.

In this case:

b= 20ft- 14ft= 6ft

h= 6ft

Then, its area is:

Ac =$(6ft) (6ft)/2$

which iis 18ft²

Then, it will bring the total area of carpet that Valerie needs:

At= Aa+ Ab+ Ac

At= 84ft² + 140ft² + 18ft²

At= 242²
