Two right triangles are attached along their longest side. The smaller triangle has height 6 cm and base 2 cm. The height of the larger triangle is 9 cm, and its base is 5 cm.

4.5 cm2
16.5 cm2
28.5 cm2
33.0 cm2

Answer 1

It would be 28.5. First, you would find the area of the smaller triangle by using the formula a=.5bh (area=.5xbasexheight) and then when you get that, you should get 6. Then, you do the same for the larger triangle and you should get 22.5. Then, 22.5 + 6 = 28.5, giving you that answer.
