In this question, we're trying to find the area of the mall and park section.
Mall section:
We can see that the mall is shaped as a right triangle.
To find the area, we would use this equation:
A = h · b/2
The height and base would be 3, so plug in and solve:
A = 3 · 3/2
A= 9/2
A = 4.5
Answer:
The area of the mall section is 4.5 blocks²
Park section:
The park section is shaped differently, but lets cut it into different pieces.
We can make a rectangle with the length of 5 and the width of 3.
We would also have a triangle with the length and height of 3.
Solve the areas for those two and solve.
A = 3 · 3/2
A= 9/2
A = 4.5
A = 5 · 3
A = 15
15 + 4.5 = 19.5
Answer:
The area of the park section is 19.5 blocks²
