Raheem designs the garden above.
1. Find the total area of the garden. (Hint: Split up the composite shape into shapes that you can find the area of!) (1 point)
2. Explain how you found the total area of this composite shape. (2 points)
sides= 3ft 5ft 3ft 6ft 3ft 5ft 5ft
(3 points)
1. To find the total area of the garden, we can split it up into smaller shapes that are easier to calculate. The garden can be split into a rectangle (3ft x 6ft), a square (5ft x 5ft), and a trapezoid with bases of 3ft and 5ft and a height of 3ft.
2. To find the area of the rectangle, we multiply the length by the width: 3ft x 6ft = 18 square feet.
To find the area of the square, we multiply the length by the width: 5ft x 5ft = 25 square feet.
To find the area of the trapezoid, we use the formula for the area of a trapezoid: (1/2) x (base1 + base2) x height. Plugging in the values, we get: (1/2) x (3ft + 5ft) x 3ft = (1/2) x 8ft x 3ft = 12 square feet.
Adding up the areas of the rectangle, square, and trapezoid gives us the total area of the garden: 18 square feet + 25 square feet + 12 square feet = 55 square feet.
dumb it down
1. To find the total area of the garden, we can split it into smaller shapes like a rectangle, a square, and a trapezoid.
2. We find the area of each smaller shape by multiplying the length by the width. Then, we add up the areas of all the smaller shapes to get the total area of the garden.
In this case, the total area of the garden is 55 square feet.
use numbers to
1. The total area of the garden is:
Area of rectangle = 3ft x 6ft = 18 square feet
Area of square = 5ft x 5ft = 25 square feet
Area of trapezoid = (1/2) x (3ft + 5ft) x 3ft = 12 square feet
Adding up the areas of all the shapes:
18 square feet + 25 square feet + 12 square feet = 55 square feet.
So, the total area of the garden is 55 square feet.
