Question

PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

Which part are you having trouble with?

Answer 2

@dylanm the whole problem :(

Answer 3

If it helps, the cut-out bits at the top of each length of wood are equal to 0.5 sq ft. Because they form a triangle.

Answer 4

@dylanm should the area of each space above the step be calculated and then added?

Your best bet is probably to work out what the area of just one piece of wood is, and then multiply it by 4.
