Answer 1

The correct answer is B.26

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 26 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find the area by finding the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle and adding them together.

total area = area of rectangle + area of triangle

The area of a rectangle is length * width, or LW.

The length and width of the rectangle are 5 in. and 4 in.

The area of a triangle is base * height/2, or bh/2.

The height of the triangle is 4 in.

We find the base of the triangle by subtracting the length of the rectangle, 5 in., from the total length of the bottom side, 8 in.

base = 8 in. - 5 in. = 3 in.

total area = LW + bh/2

total area = 5 in. * 4 in. + (3 in. * 4 in.)/2

total area = 20 in.^2 + (12 in.^2)/2

total area = 20 in.^2 + 6 in.^2

total area = 26 in.^2
