Question

What is the area of the arrow in square meters? Use words number or drawings to explain your answer

Answer 1

ANSWER


`52 {cm}^(2)`

Step-by-step explanation

The arrow can be divided into a rectangle and a triangle as shown in the attachment.

The rectangular portion has dimension

4cm by 8cm.

The area is


`= 8 * 4 = 32 {cm}^(2)`

The area of the triangular portion is:


`= (1)/(2) * b * h`


`= (1)/(2) * 8 * 5`


`= 20 {cm}^(2)`

The area of the arrow is


`= 20 + 32 = 52 {cm}^(2)`
