Question

Helpppppppp pleaseeee!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

29.5 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's divide the shape into 3 parts to make it easy for us to find the area.

- a wide triangle

- a triangle

- a shorter rectangle

For the wider rectangle, the area is;

A1 = 8 × 2 = 16 in²

For the triangle, the area is;

A2 = ½(7 - 2) × 3

A2 = 7.5 in²

For the shorter rectangle, the area is;

A3 = 3 × 2

A3 = 6 in²

Total area = A1 + A2 + A3 = 16 + 7.5 + 6 = 29.5 square inches
