Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. What is the area of the triangle on the coordinate grid?
a.16 units²
b. 16.5 units²
c. 22 units
d. 2 units²

2. What is the area of the polygon on the coordinate grid?
a. 40 units²
b. 25 units²
c. 7.5 units²
d. 32.5 units²

Answer 1

2) D. 32.6 units^2

1) A. 16 units^2

Explanation:

2) First draw a rectangle around your figure.

Next, find the area of the rectangle you just made around your shape.

Then, you will see 2 small triangles that are inside of your rectangle but not part of your shape. You will use the triangle formula
`A=(h_(b)b )/(2)`. Your anwser for the triangle in the top will be 1.5. Then the one in the bottom will be 6.

The last step for this is minus 1.5 and 6 from 40 (the total area of rectangle).

This will leave you with 32.5 units^2.

1) you do the same exact thing. You should get 48 as the area of the whole rectangle and 8 and 24 for the small traingles in the rectangle. When you subtract 8 and 24 from 48 you get 16 units^2.

Hope This Helps!
