76 ft^2
84 ft^2
100 ft^2
124 ft^2
To find the area that will be painted, first calculate the area of each individual triangle and rectangle, then add them together.
Area of the large rectangle = 9.5 ft x 8 ft = 76 ft^2
Area of the small rectangle = 2 ft x 4 ft = 8 ft^2
Area of the two small triangles = 0.5 x 2 ft x 4 ft = 4 ft^2 each, so 8 ft^2 total
Total area painted = 76 ft^2 + 8 ft^2 + 8 ft^2 = 92 ft^2
Therefore, the amount of area in square feet that will be painted is 92 ft^2.
is that right
Apologies for the mistake in my calculations in the previous response. Let's correct it.
The correct calculation should be:
Area of the large rectangle (9.5 ft x 8 ft) = 76 ft^2
Area of the small rectangle (2 ft x 4 ft) = 8 ft^2
Area of each small triangle (0.5 x 2 ft x 4 ft = 4 ft^2) x 2 = 8 ft^2
Total area painted: 76 ft^2 (large rectangle) + 8 ft^2 (small rectangle) + 8 ft^2 (two small triangles) = 92 ft^2
Therefore, the amount of area in square feet that will be painted is indeed 92 ft^2.
