Question

Find the area, round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

108 ft squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is made up of a triangle and a square.

The area of a triangle is (1/2)*b*h. The height of the triangle is 6 ft and the base is 9 ft, since the triangle shares a side with the square. Since all sides of the square are equal we know that the line that is shared by the triangle and the square must also be 9ft.

Area of the triangle: (1/2)*9*h = 27 Square feet

To find the area of a square you multiply b*h or sides squared

Area of the square: 9*9 = 81 squared feet

Finally, you have to add the two areas together to get the overall area.

So, 27  Feet Squared + 81 Feet Squared = 108 Feet Squared
