Question

What is the area for this shape

Answer 1

Answer:

area = 697.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of an outer large rectangle minus a smaller upper rectangle.

area = LW - lw

area = (45 ft)(20 ft) - (45 ft - 10 ft - 8 ft)(7.5 ft)

area = 900 ft² - (27 ft)(7.5 ft)

area = 900 ft² - 202.5 ft²

area = 697.5 ft²
