Question

The apother is 4 m and a side is 5.8 m. What is the area

Answer 1

Answer:

58 m^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The  area of one of the 5 triangles is:

1/2 * 5.8 * 4 = 11.6 m^2

So the area of the pentagon

= 5 + 11.6

= 58 m^2

Answer 2

Answer:

The area is 58 meters squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the pentagon is conveniently split into 5 separate but equal triangles, we only need to find the area of 1 triangle to find the rest. The area of triangles, as I'm sure you know, is 1/2bh. Using this equation, we get (1/2)x4x5.8. This equals 11.6. This is the area of one of the triangles. There are 5 triangles, so we multiply the area of 1 triangle by 5. 11.6x5= 58 meters squared. Hope this helped. :)
