Shannon divided the figure into 2 smaller rectangles in order to find the area of the whole figure. Which two equations represent the area of the two smaller rectangles
An irregular figure is shown. Starting from the bottom left corner of the figure, the outline of the figure moves up 18 feet, to the right 9 feet, down 9 feet, to the right 9 feet, down 9 feet, and to the left 18 feet to end at the starting point.
A.9 x 9 = 81 square feet
B.9 x 10 = 90 square feet
18 x 9 = 162 square feet
D.18 x 18 = 324 square feet
E.3 x 3 = 9 square feet
The figure has been divided into two smaller rectangles by a vertical line in the middle.
One rectangle has dimensions of 9 feet by 18 feet (height by width), which gives an area of:
9 x 18 = 162 square feet
The second rectangle has dimensions of 9 feet by 9 feet, which gives an area of:
9 x 9 = 81 square feet
Therefore, the two equations representing the area of the two smaller rectangles are:
First rectangle: 9 x 18 = 162 square feet
Second rectangle: 9 x 9 = 81 square feet.
