Question

PLEASE HELP! Don’t know how to solve this or where to start. I tried multiplying and dividing but still got the wrong answer. How do I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Answer:

306 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the shape into 2 rectangles.

Lets do the one that is sticking to the top first.

The area is 6 * 15, which is 90.

Lets do the second rectangle. The area is:

27 * 8, which is 216.

Add them all up (90 + 216), which is 306.

Answer 2

Answer:

306m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the shape into two rectangles with the accureate lengths

The top-most of the two rectangles with length 6m and width 15m:

6 x 15 = 90 m² (area of rectangle A)

The bottom rectangle:

27(full length) x 8m(full width) = 216m²

Add the two areas together for the full shape

216 + 90 = 306m²
