Question

Find the area of the shape. 4 cm 7 cm 17 cm 9 cm 13 cm The area is (Type a whole number or a decimal.)

Answer 1

To find the area we can find the area of each triangle and then add them so for the one in the top is:

`A_1=(14\cdot4)/(2)=28`

Now for the two tiangles in the buttom is:

`A_2=A_3=(7\cdot9)/(2)=31.5`

and the total area will be:

`\begin{gathered} A=A_1+A_2+A_3 \\ A=28+31.5+31.5 \\ A=91 \end{gathered}`

So the total area is 91 square cm
