Question

Find the area of the figure show steps

Answer 1

Hello!

You can separate the image into two shapes, a trapezoid and a parallelogram

To find the area of a trapezoid you use the equation

$\frac{a+b}{2} h$

a is base 1
b is base 2
h is height

Put in the values you know

$\frac{11 + 8}{2} * 4$

Add

$\frac{19}{2} * 4$

Divide

9.5 * 4 = 38

Next you find the area of the parallelogram

To find the you use the equation

bh

b is base
h is height

Put in the values you know

11 * 8.2 = 90.2

Add the two areas together to get the area of the whole shape

90.2 + 38 = 128.2

The answer is 128.2

Hope this helps!
