Question

Find the area of the figure shown ?

Answer 1

Answer:150

Explanation:

It is this because the equation for area for a triangle is 1/2bh so the base is 10 and the height is 10 so 10/2 = 5 so 5 x 10 = 50. Now area for a square is l x w so 10 x 10 = 100 then 100 + 50 = 150.

Answer 2

150 units^2

Explanation:

• Area of a square: x^2, where x represents a side length of the square.
• Area of a triangle: 1/2bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height of the triangle.

Find the area of the square by squaring one of its sides.

• (10)^2 = 100 units^2

Find the area of the triangle by substituting 10 and 10 for b and h into the formula.

• 1/2(10)(10) = 50 units^2

Add up the two areas that were found.

100 + 50 = 150 units^2
