Math Problem Statement
What is the area of Figure I in the terrace diagram?
Solution
From the uploaded image, the terrace is divided into two figures:
- Figure I: A right triangle.
- Figure II: A rectangle.
To calculate the area of Figure I (triangle):
The formula for the area of a triangle is:
- Base =
- Height =
Substituting these values:
The area of Figure I is 60 square feet.

Follow-Up Questions:
- How do you calculate the area of the rectangle (Figure II)?
- What is the total area of the terrace?
- How would you tile the terrace efficiently?
- Can you explain how to solve for the hypotenuse of the triangle in Figure I?
- What if the dimensions changed—how would that affect the calculations?
Tip:
Always double-check units (e.g., feet, meters) and ensure consistent dimensions when calculating areas.
