Answer:
64 square cm
Step-by-step explanation:
(I pulled this out of the comments in case someone else needs this answer. Easier to see as an answer than as comments in the app)
Area 2 is easier, so we’ll start with that one. Area of a rectangle is length x width.
8 x 6 = 48 square cm
Area 1 is a triangle, so the formula is 1/2(base)(height). The height of the triangle is 8, because it’s the same as the base of the rectangle. The base of the triangle is 4, because we can subtract the 6 from the rectangle from the total side length of 10. Does that make sense?
So 1/2 (4)(8)= 1/2(32) = 16 square cm
Then we add 16 + 48 = 64 square cm
