Question

The endpoints of the double arrow are congruent triangles. what is the area of the figure.​

Answer 1

The area of the figure is
`56\ cm^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of two triangles plus the area of rectangle

so

`A=2[(1)/(2)(b)(h)]+(L)(W)`

we have

`b=1+4+1=6\ cm` ----> the base of triangle

`h=2\ cm` ---> the height of triangle

`L=11\ cm` ----> the length of rectangle

`W=4\ cm` ----> the width of rectangle

substitute

`A=2[(1)/(2)(6)(2)]+(11)(4)`

`A=56\ cm^(2)`
