Answer:
108 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
This shape is made of 2 shapes that we know the formula for area. Those 2 shapes are a long rectangle and a triangle. We need to use the formula's to work out the area's of those 2 shape's and then add it together.
→ First of all the area of a triangle is 0.5 × base × height
→ The area of a rectangle is length × width
⇒ We will first work out the area of the triangle but we need the values. The height would 24 and the base length would be 7 because 8 - 1 = 7 so we put these values into the formula,
0.5 × base × height
0.5 × 7 × 24 = 84
So 84 units² is the area of the triangle.
⇒ Now time to work out the area of the rectangle. The length is 24 and the width is 1 so
Width × Length
1 × 24 = 24
So the area of the rectangle is 24 units²
Now we add the two area's together so
24 + 84 = 108 units²
