Question

Find the area of this shape.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Bottom triangle

Area = b * height

b = 4 + 4 = 8 cm

h = 5.75

Area = 1/2 * 5.75 * 8

Area = 23 cm^2

Trapezoid

b1 = 8

b2 = 4

h = 2

Area = (b1 + b2)*h/ 2

Area = (8 + 4)*2 /2

Area = 12

Total area = 23 + 12

Total area = 35
