Question

Find the area of the shape shown below

Answer 1

To find the area of the shape, you can split the shape into 2 shapes, a rectangle and a triangle. The area of a rectangle is A=l x w and the area of a triangle is A=1/2 bh. The are of the rectangle is 200 since 20 times 10 is 200. The area of the triangle is 20 times 4 divided by 2. The area of the triangle is 40. Add both areas to get the total are of 240. The area of the shape is 240.
