76 ft^2
84 ft^2
100 ft^2
124 ft^2
To find the area that will be painted, we first need to calculate the area of the triangle formed by the arrow and then double it to account for the other side of the arrow.
From the pattern shown, we can see that the base of the triangle is 8 feet and the height is 19 feet.
The formula to find the area of a triangle is: Area = 0.5 x base x height
Plugging in the values we have, the area of the triangle is: 0.5 x 8 ft x 19 ft = 76 ft^2
Since there are two identical triangles for each side of the arrow, we need to double this area to account for both sides of the arrow.
76 ft^2 x 2 = 152 ft^2
Therefore, the amount of area in square feet that will be painted is 152 ft^2.
