Question

Work out the area of the shape

Answer 1

88
`cm^(2)`

Explanation:

We need to find the area of the rectangle and the triangle.

Area of the rectangle:

a = length x width

a = 11 x 6 = 66

Area of the triangle:

a =
`( b x h)/(2)` We need to find the base and height of the triangle. The base is the same length as the length of the rectangle: 11 and the height is 10 - 6 or 4

a =
`(11 x 4)/(2)`

a =
`(44)/(2)`

a = 22

Add the area of the rectangle and the triangle together. 66 + 22 = 88
