Rebekah designs a playing field for a new sport. The playing field is pictured. What is the area of the playing field?

Question

56
60
58
32

Answer 1

To find the area of the playing field, we can divide it into two rectangles and one triangle.

The rectangle on the left has dimensions 8 x 7 = 56.
The rectangle on the right has dimensions 8 x 5 = 40.
The triangle has base 14 and height 4, so the area is (1/2) x 14 x 4 = 28.

Therefore, the total area of the playing field is 56 + 40 + 28 = 124.

So the correct answer is not listed among the options given.
