Question

Calculate the area of the figure below using the following information:

Area of triangle ABC = 23.85 square units

Area of triangle ACD = 29.4 square units

Area of triangle AED = 26.25 square units


The area of the Figure ABCDE is ______ square units.

Answer 1

Area of pentagon ABCDE = 23.85 + 29.4 + 26.25 = 79.5 unit²

Explanation:

Area of pentagon ABCDE is sum of area of triangles ABC, ACD and ADE

Area of pentagon ABCDE = Area of ΔABC +Area of ΔACD + Area of ΔADE

Area of ΔABC = 23.85 unit²

Area of ΔACD = 29.4 unit²

Area of ΔAED = 26.25 unit²

Area of pentagon ABCDE = Area of ΔABC +Area of ΔACD + Area of ΔADE

Area of pentagon ABCDE = 23.85 + 29.4 + 26.25 = 79.5 unit²

Answer 2

The area of ​​the figure ABCDE is equal to the sum of the areas of the triangles ABC, ACD and AED

Area = 23.85 + 29.4 + 26.25 = 79.5 square units
