Question

What is the area of this figure? Enter your answer in the box. ___m²

Answer 1

Well first you got figure out the formulas for the 2 triangles and the trapezoid.

The triangles formula for area is: A=b*h/2

The trapezoids formula for area is: A=1/2(b1+b2)*h

After you found the formulas you got to plug in the numbers.

For the first triangle it’s: A=9*5/2

The second triangle it’s: A=8*8/2

The trapezoid it’s: A=1/2(9+8)*5

After you plug in the numbers you have to solve the areas.

So the first triangle is: 9*5/2=9*5=45/2=22.5

So the area of the first triangle is 22.5

Then you have to solve the second triangle.

The second triangle: 8*8/2=8*8=64/2=32

So the area of the second triangle is 32

After solving the second triangle you have to solve the trapezoid.

Trapezoid: 1/2(9+8)*5=9+8=17=1/2(17)*5=17*5=85/2=
42.5

The area of the trapezoid is 42.5

After solving all of the shapes you have to add up all of the areas to get your full area.

22.5+32+42.5=22.5+42.5=65+32=97

So the area of the whole thing is 97

Hope this helps you!!!! Have a nice day!!!!
