Question

What is the area of the figure?

Answer 1

Answer:

40 yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a composite figure.  We can find the area of the square and the area of the triangle and add them together

A square = s^2   where s =4

A square  = 4^2 = 16 yd^2

A triangle = 1/2 bh

The height is 4+4

A triangle = 1/2 (6) * (4+4)

A triangle = 3*8 = 24 yd^2

Add them together

16+24 = 40 yd^2

Answer 2

The area of the figure is 28 yd^2
