Question

HELP PLS!! FIND THE AREA!!!

Answer 1

the figure is really just 3 triangles and 1 rectangle, as you see in the picture below.

notice the blue triangle has a base of 3 and a height of 2,

the green triangle has a base of 6 and a height of 1,

the yellow triangle has a base of 2 and a height of 6,

and the rectangle is a 7x6 rectangle.

we can simply get the area of each and sum them up, that's the area of the figure.


`\bf \stackrel{\textit{blue triangle}}{(1)/(2)(3)(2)}~~~~+~~~~\stackrel{\textit{green triangle}}{(1)/(2)(6)(1)}~~~~+~~~~\stackrel{\textit{yellow triangle}}{(1)/(2)(2)(6)}~~~~+~~~~\stackrel{\textit{rectangle}}{7\cdot 6}`
