Question

I'm not sure how to find the area above can someone explain?

Answer 1

`84`
`in^2`

Explanation:

In order to find the area of this shape, we need to break it up into to distinct shapes: a triangle and a rectangle

We know that the base and height of the triangle are each 6 inches and that the base of the rectangle is 6 inches and the height is 11 inches

`(1)/(2) (6)(6)=18\\\\(6)(11)=66\\\\66+18=84`

The area of this shape is
`84`
`in^2`
