Question

I need help ASAP!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:  A=26.75 units

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to find the area of each part, then add the areas together

area of small triangle to the left:

to find the area you plug in the area of a triangle formula

A= $\frac{1}{2}$bh (b=base, h=height)

A=0.5 x 2 x 2

A = 2

area of square:

A=lw (l=length, w=width)

A=2 x 2 = 4

A=4

area or smaller triangle to the right:

use the triangle formula from before

A=$\frac{1}{2}$bh

A=0.5 x 5 x 2

A = 5

area of big triangle at the top:

first, you add the 2, 2, and 5 from the top side of each previous shape to get the base length

2 + 2 + 5 = 9

now proceed with the area of a triangle formula

A=$\frac{1}{2}$bh

A= 0.5 x 9 x 3.5

A = 15.75

now that we’ve gotten the area of each part, you simply add them together

area of whole shape:

A= 2 + 4 + 5+ 15.75 = 26.75

the area of the whole shape is 26.75 :)
