Question

What is the area of figure?

• A. 320 square centimeters
• B. 608 square centimeters
• C. 448 square centimeters
• D. 560 square centimeters​

Answer 1

C. 448

Explanation:

Since 38-18=20, you divide by 10 to find the base of the two triangles on the side. The height of the triangle is 16 and the formula is basexheightx1/2.

10x16x0.5=80

You then multiply that by two because there are two triangles

80x2=160

You then have to find the rectangle in the center, which is 16x18=288 cm

Then we add it all up

160+288=448

Answer 2

area of trapezium=1/2 ×20(38+18)=560cm²
