Problema Solution
A rectangular piece of fabric is 24 ft. by 13 ft.
A triangular area with a height of 5.2 ft. and a base of 7.6 ft. is cut from the fabric.
How much area is left over?
Answer provided by our tutors
the total area of the rectangular piece is:
A1 = 24*13
A1 = 312 ft^2
the triangular area is:
A2 = (1/2)(5.2*7.6)
A2 = 19.76 ft^2
subtract the triangular area from the total area:
A1 - A2 = 312 - 19.76 = 292.24 ft^2.
