24 1/2. 0.5 is equal to 1/2
Answer:
1. 208 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We can break the shape up into a rectangle in the middle and 2 triangles on either side of said rectangle.
The dimensions of the rectangle are 8 in by 20 in, and we only know one leg of the triangle as well as the hypotenuse.
If we know one leg and the hypotenuse we can use the pythagorean theormed to sovle for the other side and get 6 in.
So we have
(8 * 20) + 2((1/2)(6)(8))
160 + 48
208 in^2
Multiply through the parentheses:
-24 + 18i + 8i + 6
18 + 26i
18 + 26i is the answer
