To find the total area of the countertop, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle and the triangle separately, and then add them together.
Area of the rectangle = length × width = 6 ft × 2.5 ft = 15 ft²
Area of the triangle = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 2.5 ft × 4 ft = 5 ft²
Total area of the countertop = 15 ft² + 5 ft² = 20 ft²
Therefore, Shannon will need 20 square feet of granite to completely cover the top of the countertop.
Shannon is going to get granite put on her countertops. Below is a scale drawing of what the top of her countertops look like.
Image of a top of a counter. There is a horizontal rectangle with a length of 6 ft and a width of 2.5 ft. Sharing the left side of the rectangle is a right triangle. The hypotenuse of the right triangle is on the left side of the triangle. The bottom leg of the triangle is shared with another rectangle that is vertical. The height of the rectangle is 4 feet and the width is 2.5 ft.
How many square feet of granite will she need in order to completely cover the top of the countertop?
