Question

Can someone help me please? Am I right or no?

Answer 1

The figure consists of three objects, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a triangle

Find the area of the rectangle
The rectangle is 16 in long and 9 in wide
a₁ = l × w
a₁ = 16 × 9
a₁ = 144 in²

Find the area of the trapezoid
The base of trapezoid is 31 in and 16 in, and the height is 35 - 20 = 15 in.
a₂ = 1/2 × (a + b) × h
a₂ = 1/2 × (31 + 16) × 15
a₂ = 1/2 × 47 × 15
a₂ = 352.5 in²

Find the area of the triangle
The base of the triangle is 31 in, the height is 20 in
a₃ = 1/2 × b × h
a₃ = 1/2 × 31 × 20
a₃ = 310 in²

Add the area together
a = a₁ + a₂ + a₃
a = 144 + 352.5 + 310
a = 806.5

The answer is 806.5 in²
