Question

Find the area of the figure

Answer 1

These are the steps: 
1. Find area of the two triangles.
2. Find area of the rectangle.
3. Add them up.

Step 1: Find area of the two triangles:

Formula : Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Both triangles are identical.
Height = 5m
Base = 6 + 6 + 12 = 24

Area = 1/2 x 24 x 5 = 60 m²

Step 2: Find the area of the rectangle:

Formula : Area = Length x Width

Area = 12 x 7 = 84 m²

Step 3: Find the total area:

60 + 84 = 144 m²

Answer: 144 m²
