Question

Find the area of the figure.

Answer 1

Area of triangle = 1/2 * 12 * 13.42 = 80.52

So total area = 91.035 + 80.52

= 171.555 answer

Answer 2

Evaluate the two shapes separately and then add them together.

Trap:

A =
`(b1 + b2)/(2)*h`

=
`(11.75 + 18)/(2)*6.12`

=
`(29.75)/(2)*6.12`

= 91.035

Triangle

A =
`(1)/(2) * b * h`

=
`(1)/(2) * 12 * 13.42`

= 80.52

Trap + Triangle

91.035 + 80.52

= 171.555

Answer: 171.555 in²
