I can’t see the image clearly here. Could you either upload it or type the labelled side lengths/measurements shown on the figure (all rectangle side lengths and the legs/bases and heights of the four right triangles)?
How to get the answer once you give the measurements:
- Area(carpet) = Area(rectangle) + sum of the areas of the four right triangles.
- Area(rectangle) = length × width.
- Area(right triangle) = 1/2 × (leg1) × (leg2) (use the two legs that meet at the right angle, or use base and height).
If the four triangles are congruent in pairs or all congruent, you can multiply accordingly (for example 4 × (1/2·b·h) if all four are same). Send the numbers and I’ll compute which choice is correct.
