Question

I don't know if I'm doing this problem right. I did 24 minus 10 and got 14 for the height to the right, and then I did 16 minus 11 and got 5 for the base of the triangle. I don't know how to find the height or how to find the total area.

Answer 1

If u divide it up into a rectangle square and triangle and add the area of each shape u get your answer. so for the triangle do 5•8•(1/2)=20 and the square is 6•5=30 and the rectangle would be 10•16=160 so add all the areas and you get 210.

Answer 2

The height of the triangular piece will be 24-6-10= 8
Area of triangle = (1/2)*8*5= 20
Large bottom rectangle = 16*10= 160
Middle rectangle = 6*5= 30
Add them together to get total 160+ 20+ 30 = 210 m^2
