Question

A rectangle with length 10 inches and width 5 inches. A triangle sits on top of the rectangle. The triangle has a base of 10 inches and height of 3 inches.

Answer 1

The area of the two shapes combined is 65 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle's formula is length x width which makes the equation 10 x 5 and the solution 50.

A triangle's formula is area = base x height ÷ 2 which makes the equation 10 x 3 ÷ 2 and the solution 15.

50 + 15 = 65
