Question

I need the area of this shape please explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

130'²

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1) work out area of whole trapezium:

((a+b) x h) / 2

a and b are the two parallel sides

h is the perpendicular height (8)

a = 4+4+3 = 11

b = 23

a + b = 11 + 23 = 34

(a + b) x h = 34 x 8 = 272

272 / 2 = 136²

step 2) work out the area of rectangle

2 x 3 = 6²

step 3) take area of rectangle away from area of whole trapezium

136 - 6 = 130

130' ²
