Using the dimensions shown, what is the net area of the L-shaped stockpile pad?
Correct Answer
B) 2,736 sf
The L-shaped area is the large rectangle less the notched corner.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The L-shaped area is the large rectangle less the notched corner.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 3,024 sf
Choice A is the full 72 ft by 42 ft outside rectangle before subtracting the notch.
Option C: 2,448 sf
Choice C subtracts a larger 576 sf bite than the 18 ft by 16 ft notch shown.
Option D: 288 sf
Choice D is only the 18 ft by 16 ft notch area, not the remaining stockpile pad.
