The figure shown below represents an area that will be planted with grass.
What is the total area that will be planted with grass?
A. 90 sq.in
B. 135 sq.in
C. 225 sq.in
D. 360 sq.in

Answer 1

First, make a dotted line through the figure, so that you have a rectangle and a triangle. Rectangle area is base times height. 15 times 6 is 90. Triangle formula fro area is base times height divided by 2. Subtract 6 from 24, because that is the height of the triangle. 18x15 is 270. 270 equals 360. 

Answer 2

The answer is C. 225
Rectangle: 15*6=90
Triangle: .5(15)(18)=135
Add together. 225
