To cover a garden path, a landscape designer plans to cover a walkway with parallelogram-shaped paving stones. Find the total area in (in square inches) covered by 4 paving stones. (1 point)
To find the total area covered by 4 paving stones, we first need to calculate the area of one paving stone and then multiply it by 4.
Assuming the dimensions of the parallelogram-shaped paving stone are base = b inches and height = h inches, the area of one paving stone is given by:
Area = base * height
Let's say the dimensions of the paving stone are:
Base = 6 inches
Height = 8 inches
Area = 6 * 8 = 48 square inches
Therefore, the total area covered by 4 paving stones is:
Total Area = Area of one paving stone * 4
Total Area = 48 * 4
Total Area = 192 square inches
So, the total area covered by 4 paving stones is 192 square inches.
