Answer:

The total area of the living room is [tex]600\ ft^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The total area of the living room on the coordinate plane is equal to the area of a triangle EHO plus the area of rectangle EOUS

so

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(b)( h)+LW[/tex]

we have

[tex]b=EO=6\ units[/tex] ---> base of triangle

[tex]h=2\ units[/tex] ---> height of triangle

[tex]L=EO=6\ units[/tex] ---> length of rectangle

[tex]W=OU=3\ units[/tex] --->width of rectangle

substitute the values

[tex]A=\frac{1}{2}(6)(2)+(6)(3)[/tex]

[tex]A=6+18=24\ units^2[/tex]

Remember that

Each unit on the coordinate  plane represents 5 feet

so

[tex]1\ unit^2=25\ ft^2[/tex]

therefore

The total area of the living room is

[tex]24(25)=600\ ft^2[/tex]
