The area of the figure is 53 in²
The figure given can be broken down into a rectangle and a triangle.
Hence, The total area would be ;
- Area of rectangle + Area of triangle
Area of rectangle = Length × width
Area of rectangle = 8 × 6 = 48 in²
The area of the triangle can be obtained using the formula:
- 1/2 × base × height
- base = 6 - 4 = 2 in
- height = 13 - 8 = 5 in
Area = 1/2 × 2 × 5 = 5 in²
The area of the figure is : (5 + 48) = 53 in²
