Question

I don’t understand this or what it means? I would like it if you showed work and explained why, thx so much!

Answer 1

Area of the rectangle: {base times height}
4cm x 8cm = 32cm^2

Area of the triangle: {base times height divided by two}
(4cm x 11cm) : 2 = 22cm^2

Total area = 22cm^2 + 32cm^2 = 54cm^2

Answer 2

Answer:

54cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to calculate area of the given figure. To solve this there are two figures together, triangle and rectangle.

first find area of rectangle given length = 8 cm and breadth = 4cm

therefore area of rectangle  = l * b = 8 * 4 = 32 cm^2

To find area of triangle:

The triangle itself is divided into two right angled triangle.

Now base of one right angled triangle will be 4/2 = 2cm

Area of rt. angled trangle = 1/2 * b*h = 1/2 * 2 * 11 = 11cm^2

Therefore area of whole triangle = 11*2 = 22cm^2 (since there are two rt.angled triangle)

Total area of given figure = 32 + 22 = 54 cm^2
