Question

Find the area of the figure show steps

Answer 1

Hello!

You can separate the image into two shapes, a trapezoid and a parallelogram

To find the area of a trapezoid you use the equation


`(a+b)/(2) h`

a is base 1
b is base 2
h is height

Put in the values you know


`(11 + 8)/(2) * 4`

Add


`(19)/(2) * 4`

Divide

9.5 * 4 = 38

Next you find the area of the parallelogram

To find the you use the equation

bh

b is base
h is height

Put in the values you know

11 * 8.2 = 90.2

Add the two areas together to get the area of the whole shape

90.2 + 38 = 128.2

The answer is 128.2

Hope this helps!
