Question

Find the are of shape?

Answer 1

Answer:

240 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape is composed of a rectangle and a triangle.

The area of the shape = area of the triangle + area of the rectangle

= ½*bh + L*W

Where,

b = base of triangle = 24 ft

h = height of triangle = 12 - 8 = 4 ft

L = length of rectangle = 24 ft

W = width of rectangle = 8 ft

Plug in the values into the equation

Area of the shape = ½*24*4 + 24*8

= 48 + 192

= 240 ft²
