Question

The area for backyard sales in a house is given below. The total area available for backyard sale is

• A. 650 sq ft
• B. 300 sq ft
• C. 450 sq ft

Answer 1

The correct option is A 650 sq ft

The given figure is

It consists of three rectangles.

Area of rectangle(R1) = base $\times$ width

Base of R1 = 10 ft

Width of R1 = 30 ft

Area = 10 $\times$ 30 = 300 sq ft

Area of rectangle(R2) = base $\times$ width

Base of R2 = 10 ft

Width of the R2 = 5 ft

Area = 10 $\times$ 5 = 50 sq ft



Area of rectangle(R3) = 300 sq ft(similar to rectangle R1)



Total area = 300 + 50 + 300 = 650 sql

Hence, total area available for backyard sale is 650 sq ft
