Question

Need to know how to find the area of this figuer​

Answer 1

The answer is 12 m.

How to solve:

First find out the height of the bottom square, which is done by doing 3 x 3 which gives you 9

Next find out the height of the triangle by doing 5 - 3 which gives you 2

Find out the area of the triangle by doing 2 x 3 which gives you 6. 6 is not the area of one triangle but of two of them as a square. You need to divide 6 by 2 in order to find out the area of the triangle. This gives you 3.

3 + 9 = 12
