Chapter 11.4, Problem 48SPR

To determine

To find: The area of the given shape.

Answer to Problem 48SPR

The area of the shape is $110{\text{ft}}^2$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given diagram is shown in Figure 1

  

Figure 1

Calculation:

The given figure is in the shape of the rhombus and the area of the rhombus is in the form,

  $A=\frac{1}{2}{d}_1{d}_2$

Then,

  $\begin{array}{c}A=\frac{1}{2}\left(5+5\right)\left(11+11\right)\\ =\frac{\left(10\right)\left(22\right)}{2}\\ =110{\text{ft}}^2\end{array}$
