Well first. You have to realize that those lines mean that those lengths are the same. If there's one line, then all the lines labeled with one line are the same length. 2 lines=same for others labeled with 2 lines

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

I would calculate this by finding the area of the entire rectangle. Then subtract it by the 2 blank areas.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

What's the area of the entire rectangle?

oh lol ....great minds think a like ?!?! ;)

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Right ^.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

ANYHOW...... The total area is 20,000 including the blank spaces (rectangles)

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Find the area of the 2 blank spaces, and subtract them from 20000

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

Can you do that?

Both rectangles have a height of 75 and length of 25. 75 times 25=1875 per rectangle 1875 times 2=3750 20000-3750 is ________??

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

@Deadroc9

OpenStudy (anonymous):
