Question

Find the area of the following figure.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 312 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure compromises of a rectangle and 2 equal triangles.

Area of the figure = area of the rectangle + area of the two triangles

Area = L*W + 2(½*b*h)

Where,

L = 16 cm

W = 12 cm

b = 12 cm

h = 10 cm

Plug in the values

Area = 16*12 + 2(½*12*10)

= 192 + 120

= 312 cm²
