Answer: Bays are thought to be formed by plate tectonic activity and erosion of coastline.

Explanation:

A body of water irregularly surrounded by land is known as a bay. And it is quite different from a gulf.

A bay is formed this way:

• when there is an erosion of the coastline into a large body of water. E.g Guanabara Bay.

• in pre-historic era, during active plate tectonic activity where continents drifts together and as they rift apart, there is the fomation of many large bays. E.g Bengal Bay.

Answer: $42 units^{2}$

Explanation:

We can divide this figure in a rectangle with base $b=1 unit$ and height $h=12 units$ ; and a right triangle with base $B=5 units$ and height $H=12 units$ .

Now, the total area $A$ of the figure will be the area of the rectangle $A_{rectangle}$ plus the area of the triangle $A_{triangle}$ :

$A=A_{rectangle}+A_{triangle}$

Where:

$A_{rectangle}=(b)(h)=(1 unit)(12 units)=12 units^{2}$

$A_{triangle}=\frac{(B)(H)}{2}=\frac{(5 units)(12 units)}{2}=30 units^{2}$

Then:

$A=12 units^{2}+30 units^{2}$

$A=42 units^{2}$ This is the area of the figure
