$$  	 Area Formulas (Math | Geometry | Area Formulas) (\pi = \pi = 3.141592...)  Area Formulas  Note: "ab" means "a" multiplied by "b". "a2" means "a squared", which is the same as "a" \times "a".  Be careful!! Units count. Use the same units for all measurements. Examples  \square = a 2   rectangle = ab   parallelogram = bh   trapezoid = h/2 (b1 + b2)   circle = \pi r 2   ellipse = \pi r1 r2 $$

Not the same thing, but it should give an idea on how to solve.

anonymous · Answer

2*(42+2)+2*(33*2) = 220

220+(33*4) = 132

220+132 = 352 square feet
