Question

Find the area of this 2-dimensional figure. Please explain how to do this !

Answer 1

240 ft is the total area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so you need to find the area of the triangle, and then the rectangle, and then add them together. To do this, we will start with the rectangle because it is the easiest: You need to multiply the legnth by the width (in this case 8ft x 24ft) which gives us 192ft for the rectangle. For a triangle, you multiply the legnth by the width and then divide it by 2: 4x24=96 and 96 divided by 2 is 48 so the triangle is equal to 48ft. Then we will add the two area's, to get 240. (48+192=240)
