PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

60m

Explanation:

4×6=24 so you have that first chunk of the left side.

since 12-4= 8 you can tell that the bottom of the "triangle" is 8m

3x8÷2=12 so now youhave one part left.

since we have already inferred that the base of the triangle was 8m we know that the length of the rectangle was 8m. 8×3=24

now you add the three values. 24+12+24=60
