Question

Identify the area of the figure

Answer 1

Answer: 184 cm2

Step-by-step explanation: Break the shape into common shapes. If you continue the line of 13 cm you now have a rectangle and trapezoid.

The rectangle area is 140

20 x 7 = 140

The trapezoid area is 44

The 15 cm line is cut into 7 and 8

the height of the shape is now 8

Base A ( the top ) is 4 cm

Base B (the bottom) is 7

A = a+b over 2h = 4+7 over 2·8 = 44

now add the numbers

Answer 2

Answer: 184 cm^2

Explanation:

1st: separate the figure into smaller shapes

-> one large rectangle (20 cm x 7 cm) =140 cm

-> one triangle ( (15-7)= 1/2 (8 cm x 3 cm ) = (20-13-4) = 12 cm

-> one rectangle (4 cm x 8 cm ) = 32 cm

140 + 32 + 12 = 184 cm
