Question

15 POINTS!!

What is the area of this figure?

A: 28 yd sq
B: 40 yd sq
C: 52 yd sq
D: 64 yd sq

Answer 1

40 yd sq

Explanation:

To find the whole area, we want to first find the area of each shape we see. The square has dementions 4 by 4, so the area is 16. The triangle has dementions 6 by 8. the area of a traingle is 1/2 the base (3) times the heigth (8) which is 24. Next we add the two numbers... 24+16=40

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

40 yd^2

Explanation:

The area of the figure is found by adding the area of the square and the area of the triangle

The area of the square is

A = s^2 where s is the side length

A = 4^2 = 16

The area of the triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh

where b is the base = 6

and h is the height = 4+4 = 8

A = 1/2*6*8

= 24

The total area = 16+24 = 40 yd^2
