Best Answer

You should be able to draw an imaginary line between two corners that divides the room into a trapezoid and a triangle. The area of a trapezoid is (a + b)/2 times h

where a and b are bases and h is the height.

The area of a triangle is one half the base times the height.

You can also divide the trapezoid into two triangles and do the triangle thing three times.

A square and a rectangle each have a perimeter of 100ft explain how this is possibl?

Perimeter is just the measure around the outside of the figure. The square has to have all the sides of equal length, so they must be 25 feet (25x4=100) The rectangle needs to have 2 sides of equal length and 2 sides of a different equal length. They could be 30 ft, 30 ft, 20 ft, 20 ft....or 45 ft, 45 ft, 5 ft, 5 ft,. As long as the first 2 sides together equal more than 50 ft (more than half), then the last two sides equal (100-first two sides) divided by 2 sides.
