Question

Find the area of each figure

Answer 1

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

this figure can be "split" into 3 sub-figures.

one rectangle in the middle, one triangle to the right, and one triangle on top.

these areas we can calculate very easily. and then we simply sum up all 3 of them and we have the answer.

it is clear, the area of a rectangle is length×width.

and the area of triangle is baseline×height/2.

where in a right-angled triangle one of the sides next to the 90 degree angle is the baseline and the other is the height.

the rectangle

R = 10×6 = 60

the triangle to the right

T1 = (14-10)×6/2 = 12

the triangle on the top

T2 = 10×(10-6)/2 = 20

so, the total area is

60+12+20 = 92
