Find The Area Of The Blue Area If Each Square Represents 15 Square Meters class=

Sagot :

Check the picture below.

so the picture has a rectangle that is 8 units high and 12 units wide, and it has a couple of "empty" trapezoids, with a height of 5 and "bases" of 9 and 3.

now, if we just take the whole area of the rectangle and then subtract the area of those two trapezoids, what's leftover is the blue area.

[tex]\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=5\\ a=9\\ b=3 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} A=\cfrac{5(9+3)}{2}\implies A=30 \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{\large Areas}}{\stackrel{rectangle}{(12\cdot 8)}~~ -~~\stackrel{\textit{two trapezoids}}{2(30)}}\implies 96-60\implies 36[/tex]
