Question

I need help on this equation please.

Answer 1

b. 47.25 ft^2

You can find the area of the figure separately like( Area of the rectangle + Area of the triangle ) .

So the base of the triangle can be found :12ft -9ft = 3ft

Area of the triangle = 1/2 × 3 × 4.5 = 6.75 ft^2

Area of the rectangle = 9 × 4.5 = 40.5 ft^2

Then add the area to get the area of the whole figure : 6.75 +40.5 = 47.25 ft^2

Answer 2

47.25ft

Explanation:

(9*4.5)+(1/2*3*4.5)

40.5+6.75

47.25ft
