The figure pqrstu represents the shape of the parking lot at a shopping mall. what is the area of the parking lot? a. 834 square feet b. 918 square feet c. 984 square feet d. 1,068 square feet

D.  

1,068 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the figure into 2 shapes: triangle and rectangle

Area of rectangle = 36 x 25 = 900 ft^2

Area of triangle = 1/2 (39-25)(36-12) = 1/2 (14)(24) = 168 ft^2

Area of the figure PQRSTU = 900 + 168 = 1068 ft^2

Answer

D.  

1,068 square feet

D. 1,068

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle PQRU = 25 x 36 = 900 sq-ft

Consider triangle RST,

Base of triangle = TR = 36 - 12 = 24 feet

Height if triangle = 39 - 25 = 14 feet

Hence area of triangle = x 24 x 14 = 168 sq-ft

Total area = 900 + 168 = 1068 sq-ft
