Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 81 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of the parallelogram is

 A = LH         where L is the length of the base, and H is the height

L is given as 9, and H is given as 5, so

 A = (9)(5) = 45 m²

The are of the triangle is

 A = (1/2)bh         where b is the base and h is the height

b is given as 9.  Its's 9 because that side of the parallelogram is parallel to the base of the parallelogram and is also equal in measure.  The height of the triangle is give as 8, so the area is..

 A = (1/2)(9)(8)

       A = 36  m²

The total area is

45 m² + 36 m² = 81 m²
