Question

Quickly!! Please help!! Geometry!! What is the area of the figure below?

Answer 1

It's a parallelogram and a triangle.

The formula of an area of a It's a parallelogram:

$A_P=bh$

b - base, h - height

We have: b = 8 ft and h = 5ft. Substitute:

$A_P=(8)(5)=40\ ft^2$

The formula of an area of a tringle:

$A_T=\dfrac{bh}{2}$

b - base, h - height

We have: b = 10 ft and h = 5 ft. Substitute:

$A_T=\dfrac{10\cdot5}{2}=\dfrac{50}{2}=25\ ft^2$

The area of the figure:

$A=A_P+A_T\to A=40+25=65\ ft^2$
