Answer :

Answer:

the answer is C (280 square feet)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, cut the lawn so that it becomes two shapes: a rectangle, and a triangle. Solve for both areas.

A(r) = lw

A(r) = (14)(16)

A(r) = 224 square feet

A(t) = bh/2

A(t) = (8)(14) / 2

A(t) = 112 / 2

A(t) = 56 square feet

Add the two areas:

A(r) + A(t) = Area of lawn

224 square feet + 56 square feet = 280 square feet.

C . 280 square root
