Question

Find the area of this shape. (Note: the figure is NOT drawn to scale)

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of this shape is $50cm^2$.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of this figure, you only need to know the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle. The area of the rectangle would be 5 * 6 = $30cm^2$. Since the length of the rectangle plus the base of the triangle is equivalent to 14, that means the base of the triangle is equal to 14 - 6 = 8 cm. The formula for the area of a triangle is $\frac{1}{2} bh$, the base you now know is 8 cm, and the height is 5 cm, which means the area of the triangle would be $\frac{1}{2} *5*8$ = $\frac{1}{2} * 40$ = $20cm^2$. Add the area of the rectangle to the area of the triangle and you'll get the area of the entire shape, which is 30 + 20 = $50cm^2$.

Answer 2

I think if you add: 25 or multiply:420 cm
