Question

Find the area of the figure.

Answer 1

Answer: Area = 21

* FYI, you can use triangle area calculators to solve for it*

Explanation:

Area = 1/2 base x height

Step 1: Solve each triangle separately

• Triangle A = 6 x 5 = 30 divide by 2 = 15

• Triangle B = 3 x 4 = 12 divided by 2 = 6

Step 2: Add total Areas

• Area = 15 + 6

• Area = 21

Answer 2

The area of the figure is 36
