A fair had been running in the town of Ajax for 2 years. The first year 15,754 people attended. The second year, 17,934 people attended. What is the best estimate for the total number of people that attended the fair over the 2 years?

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

what is the original number? you forgot to add it.

it would open into a square depending on the type of envelope i’m not sure about the second part
