Question

Find the area of the shape.

Answer 1

39.5
`ft^(2)`

Explanation:

We need to take this shape by shape

Top triangle

a = b*h/2

a = 3*2/2

a = 6/2

a = 3

__________________________________________________________

Bottom triangle:

a = b*h/2

a = 3*3/2

a = 9/2

a = 4.5

__________________________________________________________

Rectangle:

a = b*h

a = 8*4

a = 32

__________________________________________________________

Now add them all up

3 + 4.5 + 32 = 39.5

The area of the shape is 39.5
`ft^(2)`

Hope this helped!
