You just have to multiply the numerators and the denominators.
The answer is 14 over 56. Then, you need to simplify the question.
So, since 56 is divisible by 14, divide the numerator and the denominator by 14.
Then you get your answer, which is one-fourth.
Hope that helped!

What is the area of the composite shape<br> A pentagon is shown.

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

37in.^2

Step-by-step explanation:

So if the triangles at the top have a hypotenuse of 5, and a length of 4, then doing reverse Pythagorean theorem, you find out that the width is 3. $a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$ . so reverse of that for this problem would be $c^{2} -b^{2} =a^{2}$ and if we plug it in, we get 25 -16=9 and the square root of 9 is 3. so if we find the are of the triangle, 3*4*1/2=6 and there are 2 triangles so 12 for both triangles. The square is 5*4=20. and the smaller triangles on the side are 1*5*1/2=2.5, and there are 2 traingles so 2.5*2= 5. So 5+20+12=37. You can do this on most calculators, and please put my answer as the brainliest.✌
