A harder example:
Example: Sam cuts grass at $0.10 per square meter How much does Sam earn cutting this area:
Part A is a square: Area of A = a2 = 20m 20m = 400m2 Part B is a triangle. Viewed sideways it has a base of 20m and a height of 14m. Area of B = b h = 20m 14m = 140m2 So the total area is: Area = Area of A + Area of B = 400m2 + 140m2 = 540m2 Sam earns $0.10 per square meter Sam earns = $0.10 540m2 = $54
