Question 2 of 20 -2020-2021 T-MatWhat is the area of the shape below?6 yd4 yd5 yd9 yd

Answer 1

The diagram is composed of a rectangle and a right triangle.

The area of the rectangle is derived as;

`\begin{gathered} A=l* w \\ A=6*4 \\ A=24yd^2 \end{gathered}`

The area of the triangle is derived as;

`\begin{gathered} A=(1)/(2)bh \\ A=(1)/(2)(3)(4) \\ A=(1)/(2)*12 \\ A=6yd^2 \end{gathered}`

The area of the shape is therefore 24 square yards plus 6 square yards, and that equals 30 square yards

The third option is the correct answer
