Question

I need the answer ASAP

1. Add Area (Split the shape up to two or more known
shapes first)
12.5 ft
11.6 ft
19.2 ft
16.7 ft

Answer 1

Explanation:

The shape cam be split into a triangle and a trapezoid

✔️Area of the trapezoid = ½(a + b)h

Where,

a = 12.5 ft

b = 16.7 ft

h = 11.6 ft

Plug in the values

Area of the trapezoid = ½(12.5 + 16.7)*11.6

Area of trapezoid = 169.36 ft²

✔️Area of the triangle = ½*b*h

b = 16.7 ft

h = 19.2 - 11.6 = 7.6 ft

Area of the triangle = ½*16.7*7.6

= 63.46 ft²

✔️Area of the shape = 169.36 + 63.46

= 232.82 ft²
