2,852 rounded to the nearest tenths

assuming the comma is meant to be a decimal...

It would be 2.9

Step-by-step explanation:

the place right after the decimal is the tenth place. the 5 rounds up the 8. don't worry about the 2. so the 8 becomes a 9 and you leave off the rest because you are only worrying about the tenths place.

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2
