Question

Find the area. The figure is not drawn to scale. Hint: Find the sum of the areas of 2 triangles and 2 parallelograms.

Select one:
a. 188 in.2
b. 278 in.2
c. 322 in.2
d. none of these

Answer 1

d. None of the above

Explanation:

✔️Area of triangle 1 = ½*b*h

b = 11 in.

h = 3 in.

Area of triangle 1 = ½*11*3 = 16.5 in.²

✔️Area of triangle 2 = ½*b*h

b = 8

h = 9

Area of triangle 2 = ½*8*9 = 36 in²

✔️Area of parallelogram 1 = b*h

b = 11 in.

h = 9 in.

Area of parallelogram 1 = 11*9 = 99 in.²

✔️Area of parallelogram 1 = b*h

b = 9 in.

h = 11 in.

Area of parallelogram 2 = 9*11 = 99 in.²

✅Total area = 16.5 + 36 + 99 + 99 = 250.5 in.²
