What is the area of the figure below?

Answer 1

It's a parallelogram and a triangle.

The formula of an area of a It's a parallelogram:

`A_P=bh`

b - base, h - height

We have: b = 8 ft and h = 5ft. Substitute:

`A_P=(8)(5)=40\ ft^2`

The formula of an area of a tringle:

`A_T=(bh)/(2)`

b - base, h - height

We have: b = 10 ft and h = 5 ft. Substitute:

`A_T=(10\cdot5)/(2)=(50)/(2)=25\ ft^2`

The area of the figure:

`A=A_P+A_T\to A=40+25=65\ ft^2`
