Question

Find the area of the irregular figure. 14 cm 12cm 21 cm 14 cm 16 cm

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of each shape (rectangle and triangle) and then add the areas together.

Area of rectangle:

A = bh

A = 14*12 = 168 cm2

Area of triangle:

A = 1/2*bh

A = 1/2(16)(21 - 12)

A = 1/2(16)(9)

A = 1/2(144)

A = 72 cm2

Add areas together: (area of the whole shape)

168 + 72 = 240 cm2
