Question

Find the area of these shapes

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Left figure:

area of rectangle = 4×6 = 24 cm²

area of triangle = ½×(base of triangle)×(height of triangle) = ½×6×4  = 12 cm²

area of shape = 24+12 = 36 cm²

Right figure:

area of rectangle = 6×8 = 48 m²

area of triangle = ½×(base of triangle)×(height of triangle) = ½×8×(8-6) = 8 m²

area of shape = 48+8 = 56 m²
