How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole ?

To start solving, separate this shape into 2 separate shapes. The dimensions of the smaller shape are 2 by 3 feet. The dimensions of the larger one are 3 by 11 feet. To find the area of an object, multiply its dimensions. Therefore, you multiply 2 by 3 and 3 by 11. You will get the products 6 and 33. Since we are still working within the same shape, however, you add the products together. You get 39. Therefore, 39 ft. squared is the answer.
