Question

What is the area of the shape below?
15 m
15 m
17 m
7m

Answer 1

165m²

Explanation:

First you make it into a triangle and rectangle. The rectangle would be 15x7. The triangle would be 1/2x15x8.

15x7=105

1/2x15x8=60

105+60=165 meters squared

Answer 2

(1/2)(15)(7 + 15) = (1/2)(22)(15) = 165 m^2
