Answer 1

A = 60 cm²

Explanation:

the figure is composed of a rectangle (lower ) and triangle (upper )

calculate the area of both and sum together

area of rectangle is calculated as

area = length × width

here length = 8 cm and width = 7 cm , then

area = 8 × 7 = 56 cm²

area of triangle is calculated as

area =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

here b = 8 cm and h = 6 cm , then

area =
`(1)/(2)` × 8 × 6 = 4 × 6 = 24 cm²

total area = 56 + 24 = 60 cm²

Answer 2

80 cm²

Explanation:

Base × Height = Area of a Square

Base × Height / 2 = Area of a Triangle

Area of a Triangle + Area of a Square = Area of the Shape
