Question

Find the area of the shape shown below.

Answer 1

108

Explanation:

Divide the figure in two. one rectangle(24X1) and one triangle. Then find their areas and ta daa.

1x24 + (7x24)/2 = 24 +84 = 108.

Answer 2

108

Explanation:

Multiply 24 and 1 together to get the area of the slim part of the shape. The remaining shape should be a right triangle. I believe that you should then multiply 24 and 7. The seven comes from 8-1, since you already found the area of the portion. 24 x 7 = 168. Then divide 168 by 2 to get the triangle. You will get 84. Add the two together (24 and 84) to get the total of the area (108).
