Question: What is the AREA of this shape
(and pls include steps)

Answer 1

One way to approach this would be by splitting up the shape into the bottom part, being a rectangle, and the top part, being a triangle.

The area formulas for each shape are:

rectangle: A=b*h
triangle: A=(1/2)b*h

First, you can start by noticing that the base for both the triangle and rectangle is given, being 14.3 inches.

Next, you can find the height of

Answer 2

Explanation:

first off: write the formula that you would be using, which in my case would be

A = B x H

the B stands for base, and the H stands for height

the base of the shape would be 14.3 in

while the height is the dotted line in the middle (which would be 14.4 in)

to find the answer you would write it like this:

A = B x H = 14.3in x 14.4in

= (conversion to other form of measurement if necessary)

= 205.92 in

(answer may be wrong as it was calculated with calculator app)
