What is the total area, in square meters, of the shaded sections of the trapezoid below?

maw [93]

Answer:

Area = 110.88 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area = area of the two triangles + area of the rectangle

Total Area = ½bh + L*W × ½*by

= ½*7*7.2 + 7.6 × 7.2 + ½*8.6*7.2

= 25.2 + 54.72 + 30.96

Total Area = 110.88 m²
