Please help :) This diagram shows some measurements of Tyler's porch
What is the area, in square feet, of Tyler's porch?

I'm broken :(please halp I'm sooo depreased ( I'm just joking)

tl;dr: C.) 144 ft

Hello!

To find the measurements of Tyler's porch, we'll have to first divide it into separate parts. Here is how it should look like:

Now, all you have to do is multiply them. You should be left with 80 + 32 + 32.

From there, you do addition.

80 ft + 32 ft + 32 ft =  144 ft

Therefore, your answer is answer choice C.) 144 ft

Hope this was helpful. Have a great day!

Edit: THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER, correct answer is actually 112 ft.  Ty for pointing out a mistake.

It should actually look more like this:

10 ft · 8 ft (rectangle)

(4 ft · 8 ft) ÷ 2 (Triangle No.#1)

(4 ft · 8 ft) ÷ 2 (Triangle No.#2)

From there, you do the same thing I did above. You should get to 80 + 16 + 16, and then you add. So, the actual answer is B.) 112 ft.

112 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Don't panic! This area problem may seem confusing but you just need to split it up! Lucky for you the dotted lines have already split it up, first you calculate the area of the triangles which is length times width then divided by two (8ft times 4ft equals 32ft, divide by two and get 16ft) Since there are two triangles we will have another 16. Next we find the area of the rectangle which is just length times width (8ft times 10ft equals 80 feet) Now you add all the total areas of each shape. 16ft+16ft+80ft= 112 square feet

Don't forget to label area questions with square and then the unit!

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.
