Find the area of a t shaped building which is 240ft ,120ft,140 ft, 80 ft
To find the area of a T-shaped building, we need to break it down into smaller shapes and then add the areas together.
The T-shaped building consists of a rectangle with dimensions 240ft by 120ft and a smaller rectangle attached to the side with dimensions 140ft by 80ft.
Area of the larger rectangle = 240ft x 120ft = 28,800 sq ft
Area of the smaller rectangle = 140ft x 80ft = 11,200 sq ft
Now, we need to subtract the overlapping area between the two rectangles. The overlapping area forms a smaller rectangle with dimensions 80ft by 80ft.
Area of the overlapping rectangle = 80ft x 80ft = 6,400 sq ft
Total area of the T-shaped building = (Area of larger rectangle + Area of smaller rectangle) - Area of overlapping rectangle
Total area = (28,800 sq ft + 11,200 sq ft) - 6,400 sq ft
Total area = 33,000 sq ft
Therefore, the area of the T-shaped building is 33,000 square feet.
