To find the area of the rectangle represented by the four paving stones, you can calculate the total area covered by the paving stones.
Each paving stone is a parallelogram, with a base of 8 inches and a height of 4 inches. The area of one paving stone is base x height = 8 inches x 4 inches = 32 square inches.
Since there are 4 paving stones in total, the area covered by the 4 paving stones is 4 x 32 = 128 square inches.
Therefore, the correct answer is 128 square inches.
Each paving stone is a parallelogram, with a base of 8 inches and a height of 4 inches. The area of one paving stone is base x height = 8 inches x 4 inches = 32 square inches.
Since there are 4 paving stones in total, the area covered by the 4 paving stones is 4 x 32 = 128 square inches.
Therefore, the correct answer is 128 square inches.
you sure because their is one spot that have a base of 5 and a height of 4
Apologies for the oversight. Let's calculate the correct total area covered by the paving stones:
- Area of parallelogram 1 (base of 8 inches, height of 4 inches): 8 inches x 4 inches = 32 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 2 (base of 8 inches, height of 4 inches): 8 inches x 4 inches = 32 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 3 (base of 5 inches, height of 4 inches): 5 inches x 4 inches = 20 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 4 (base of 5 inches, height of 4 inches): 5 inches x 4 inches = 20 square inches
Adding the areas of all four parallelograms together:
32 + 32 + 20 + 20 = 104 square inches
Therefore, the correct answer is 104 square inches. Thank you for pointing out the error.
- Area of parallelogram 1 (base of 8 inches, height of 4 inches): 8 inches x 4 inches = 32 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 2 (base of 8 inches, height of 4 inches): 8 inches x 4 inches = 32 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 3 (base of 5 inches, height of 4 inches): 5 inches x 4 inches = 20 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 4 (base of 5 inches, height of 4 inches): 5 inches x 4 inches = 20 square inches
Adding the areas of all four parallelograms together:
32 + 32 + 20 + 20 = 104 square inches
Therefore, the correct answer is 104 square inches. Thank you for pointing out the error.
another error spoted their is no 104 as a choice
I apologize for the oversight. Let's reevaluate the calculation with the correct values:
- Area of parallelogram 1 (base of 8 inches, height of 4 inches): 8 inches x 4 inches = 32 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 2 (base of 8 inches, height of 4 inches): 8 inches x 4 inches = 32 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 3 (base of 5 inches, height of 4 inches): 5 inches x 4 inches = 20 square inches
- Area of parallelogram 4 (base of 5 inches, height of 4 inches): 5 inches x 4 inches = 20 square inches
Adding the areas of all four parallelograms together:
32 + 32 + 20 + 20 = 104 square inches
