Answer:
top area = 10.125
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulas used
triangle: base × height / 2
rectangle: base × height
1.5×1.5=2.25
2.25 / 2 = triangle = 1.125
1.5×3=4.5
4.5 × 2 because we have two of the same rectangles.
4.5×2 = both rectangles = 9
add our triangle and rectangles gives our top.
9+1.125 = top = 10.125
explained in sentences:
I found the base and height of my formulas. then used a calculator to help me solve. Which got me the answer of 10.125 when I added area of two rectangles and one triangle.
