The answer is 19(6)+7(9). I77=area. You get the answer because it’s basically two shapes when you break the figure down. You’re given the perimeter of each shape. If you use the formula: hl=a, then you can multiply and add like I said.

Answer:

177 mi²

Explanation:

are two rectangles, one has sides of 6 and 19 and one has sides of 9 and 7, we find the two areas with the formula A = L x W and add them, all as in the expression:

remember PEMDAS

6 × 19 + 9 × 7 =

114 + 63 =

177 mi²
