Question

What is the area of this figure? Select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the statement. The area of the figure is Choose... cm². A square with sides measuring 6 cm. A trapezoid attached to the side of the square has a top length of 7 cm, a long leg side of 10 cm, and the bottom length, when combined with the length of the square, measures out at 21 cm.

Answer 1

To answer this question, you should draw it out- see the attached picture for the example. All the side lengths are labeled. You can then use the area of a trapezoid formula to find the total area.

`\text{A}=(1)/(2) \ (b1 + b2)h`

You can see the substitution for each value in the work shown in the picture.
