Question

Thats the question ​

Answer 1

Answer:

160 in ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the area of each shape and add them together

1. Triangles:

The formula for a triangle is (base x height)/2, so we can replace them as (5 * 4)/2 * 2( Because there are two triangles), so therefore the two triangles will add up to 20 inches

2. The Rectangles

The Big Rectangle:

The big rectangle is just l x w or 5 * 20 which is 100

The small rectangle:

To find the width of the small rectangle you have to do 20 - (5 + 5) because we are not including the triangles. 20 - (5 +  5) = 10, so that would be 10 * 4 = 40.

3.Add them together

20 + 100 + 40 = 160 inches ^2

Hope this helps!!!
