Question

Help please The area of the figure is blank square units

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use to formula of finding the area of a trapezoid in this problem.

Formula: [(b1 + b2)/2] *h, where b1 and b2 are the bases and h is the height.

b1 can be the bottom base, which has a length of 21 units.

b2 can be the top base, which has a length of (21-9-3)+3 = 12 units.

h has a length of 8, since it is the height.

Plugging these into the formula, we can see that the area of the entire figure is (21+12)/2 * 8 = 33/2 * 8 = 33*4 = 132 units².

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

132 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I would figure out the areas of the right triangles

Left triangle:  1/2(6x8) =24 units²

Right triangle:  1/2(8x3) = 12 units²

entire rectangle between triangles: 12x8 = 96 units²

add all areas together:  24+12+96 = 132 units²
