Find the rectangle area
A = 8*4 = 32 in²
Find the height of trapezoid
8-4 = 4 in
Find the area of trapezoid
(5,3+8)*4/2 = 13,3*4/2 = 53,2/2 = 26,6 in²
Find the figure area
26,6+32 = 58,6 in²
-3/7 is greater than -2/5
how I found this do 3÷7 and this will give you a decimal of 0.4285. While doing 2÷7 equals 0.4
hope this helps
