To calculate the area of the house and porch, we need to confirm the shapes involved. If we assume the house is rectangular (10 ft by 30 ft) and the porch is also a rectangular area, we can compute the areas separately and then sum them.
-
Area of the House: \[ \text{Area}_{\text{house}} = \text{length} \times \text{width} = 10 , \text{ft} \times 30 , \text{ft} = 300 , \text{ft}^2 \]
-
Area of the Porch: Since you did not specify the dimensions of the porch, I'll assume the porch is the same dimensions as the house for simplicity: \[ \text{Area}_{\text{porch}} = 10 , \text{ft} \times 30 , \text{ft} = 300 , \text{ft}^2 \]
-
Total Area: \[ \text{Total Area} = \text{Area}{\text{house}} + \text{Area}{\text{porch}} = 300 , \text{ft}^2 + 300 , \text{ft}^2 = 600 , \text{ft}^2 \]
Thus, the total area of the house and porch is 600 square feet. If the porch has different dimensions or is shaped differently, please provide those details for a more accurate calculation!
