1) answer: 120 ft^2 steps: find the area of the large box 8 x 12 (width x length) = 96 find the area of the small box **find the length by subtracting the side already used (8) from 14 =6 6 x 4 = 24 add the two to get the total area 24 + 96 = 120 2) answer: C steps: know that 3 x 24 = 72 which would match the area of the original triangle to the new one. Rectangles have 4 sides with two pairs of matching lengths find perimeter by adding 3 + 3 + 24 + 24 = 54 54 does NOT equal 36 this is the answer *** none of the others have the same area otherwise you would need to guess + check answer choices to find the correct one.
