Lucia has said that she will only buy the land if it costs less than $4.00 per square foot. The plot shown below is listed for $453,175. Is Angela going to be able to get this land? Explain how you found your answer.

The picture has, 187.5 ft on top and 397.5 ft on the bottom.
On the left side is 390 ft and on the right side is 225 ft.

The image is not a square or rectangle by the way! It also has 6 sides because they are tilted.

I am extremely confused on how to solve this!! Could someone please show the steps on how to solve this problem and is their any other way that will show you how to make sure this answer is correct (something to check your answer with) thank you!

PLEASE and help would be amazing! My computer doesn't seem to be letting me post this question, but I'm hoping you guys are getting this.

Answer 1

You have only listed 4 side lengths, so I'm not clear. But, to get the area, divide it up into triangles, and maybe rectangles, if there are any. Then just add up the areas of the pieces.
