Question

The area of the figure is _ square units.Please help quickly!!

Answer 1

Answer:

80 sq units

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with the largest rectangle, we see it has a width of 6 and a length of 8, meaning the area of that only is 48 sq units. (area of rect. = l x w, so 6 x 8 is 48)

There are two smaller rectangles with width 6 and length 2. One of those rectangles would be 12 units (6 x 2). Since there is two of them, then 24 sq. units.

Lastly, there are four small triangles. The area formula for a triangle is 1/2(b)(h). The triangle has a base of 2 and a height of 2. (1/2)(2)(2) =2. Since there are four triangles, the total for them only would be 8 (2 x 4).

Adding each of these pieces together will give us the answer:

48+24+8=80 sq units
