Answer:
Total area of figure is 300 ft ²
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Finding the area of rectangle</u>
We know that
- Area of rectangle = length × width
Where,
- length of rectangle = 10 ft
- width of rectangle = 24 ft
Substitute the values into the formula
Area = 10 ft × 24 ft
multiply ✖ , we get
Area of rectangle = 240 ft ²
<u>Similarly, Finding the area of </u><u>triangle</u>
We know
- Area of triangle = 1 /2 × Base × Height
Where,
- Base of triangle = 24 ft
- Height of triangle = 15 - 10 = 5 ft
Substitute the values
Area of triangle = 1 /2 × 24 ft × 5 ft
multiply
Area of triangle = 1/2 × 120 ft ².
divide , we get
Area of triangle = 60 ft ².
And Finally, Finding the total area
Total area of figure = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle
Total Area = 240 ft ² + 60 ft ²
➛ Total area of figure = 300 ft ²
