Question

Find the area of the figure.

Answer 1

Answer: 28.5 square units.

Step-by-step explanation: Separate the figure into a rectangle and a triangle. Count the length and width of the rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 8 units and the width is 3 units. To find the area use the formula l*w. 8*3=24.

Next find the area of the triangle section. The triangle is 3 units tall and 3 units wide. To find the area use the formula 1/2(l*w). 3*3=9. 9/2=4.5.

Finally add the areas of the rectangular section and the triangular section. 24+4.5=28.5.
