Question

What is the area of this figure? Enter the answer in the box below.

Answer 1

A = 30cm²

Explanation:

First, let's find the area of the triangle

Formula: 1/2 bh

The base is half of 5, which is 2.5

A = 1/2 (2.5)(4)

A = 5cm²

Next, let's find the area of the rectangle

Formula: bh

Base = 5cm

Height = 5cm

A = bh

A = (5)(5)

A = 25cm²

Now you add those two.

25 + 5 = 30cm²

A = 30cm²

Answer 2

35

Explanation:

4 x 2.5 for the triangles is 10

and half of 10 is 5

5 + 5 = 10

5 x 5 = 25

25 + 10 = 35

The answer is 35.
