Question

I don't like math it makes me sad

Answer 1

300
`in^(2)`

Explanation:

First, calculate the area of the rectangle. The height and width are 10 and 20, so the area is 200
`in^(2)`.

For the triangle, we know the base length is 10 inches. But for the height, you add the 10 inches that happens to be part of the rectangle and another 10 inches, which is shown to the left of the top of the triangle, making the height 20 inches. Following the formula for the area of a triangle,
`(bh)/(2)`, you would get 100
`in^(2)`.

To get the total area of the whole figure, add 200 and 100, which will give you 300
`in^(2)`

also math makes me sad sometimes too so that's very relatable

Answer 2

It would be 250 in because you see 10x20 is 200 and and 10x10 is 100. But since part of the figure is a triangle you have to dive it by 2 and 100/2=50. 200+50=250
Hope that helps!
