Hilda is putting new tile in an area of her home. part of the space is rectangular with a length of 10 feet and a width of 6 feet, and part of the space is triangular with a base of 4 feet and a height of 2 feet. how many square feet of tile will hilda need to cover the space?

64 sq feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rectangle Length = 10 feet

Rectangle Width = 6 feet

Triangle Base = 4 feet

Triangle Height = 2 feet

Area of rectangle = Length x Width = 10 x 6 = 60 sq feet

Area of triangle = x Base x Height = x 4 x 2 = 4 sq feet

Total area

= Area of Rectangle + Area of Triangle

= 60 + 4 = 64 sq feet

64 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular area is 10 ft by 6 ft, which comes to 60 ft².

The triangular area is A = (1/2)(base)(height) = (1/2)(4 ft)(2 ft) = 4 ft²  

The total area of tile will be 4 ft² + 60 ft², or 64 ft².
