Answer:
<h2><em>
A = 75 in²</em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the rectangle and the right triangle.
The formula of an area of a rectangle:
<em>A = lw</em>
<em>l</em> - length
<em>w </em>- width
We have <em>l = 10 in</em> and <em>w = 5 in</em>. Substitute:
<em>A = (10)(5) = 50 in²</em>
The formula of an area of a triangle:
<em>A = 1/2 bh</em>
<em>b</em> - base
<em>h</em> - height
We have <em>b = 5 in</em> and <em>h = 5 in + 5 in = 10 in</em>. Substitute:
<em>A = 1/2(5)(10)=1/2(50)=25 in²</em>
The area of figure:
<h3><em>
A = 50 in² + 25 in² = 75 in²</em></h3>
