Using the method of splitting a complex shape into smaller, standard figures, find the area of Vivian’s house using only points provided in the diagram.

Answer:
Step-by-step expVivian’s house area can be split into two rectangles: FLSU and MNSR.
area of rectangle FLSU
= length × width
= (FU) × (FL)
= 30 × 25
= 750 square feet
area of rectangle MNSR
= length × width
= (MS) × (MN)
= 38 × 25
= 950 square feet
area of Vivian’s house
= area of rectangle FLSU+ area of rectangle MNSR
= 750 square feet + 950 square feet
= 1,700 square feet
