Question

Can someone answer this please?

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

First, find the area of the rectangle

Formula = l · w

l = 16
w = 8

16 · 8 = 128

Now, find the area of the triangle

Formula = (b · h) ÷ 2

b = 3
h = 6

(6 · 3) ÷ 2
↓
18 ÷ 2 = 9

Now, add both areas

128 + 9 = 137

The area is 137 sq. ft

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

We can break this complicated looking shape into two more familiar ones, an icosoles triangle and a rectangle. Using the area of a triangle formula (base*height)/ 2, we get (3*6)/2=18/2= 9. Next, we multiply 8 by 16 to solve for the rectangle and get 128. We add 9 and 128 to get 137.

Your answer is 137.
