Question

Which expression can be used to find the area of the figure below? V k 9 The figure is not drawn to scale O Oko 1 -9 2 2009) otke8-8 h

Answer 1

The figure is a rectangle plus a triangle. We know that the area of a rectangle is given by:

`A_R=bh`

the area of the triangle is given by:

`A_T=(1)/(2)bh`

for the rectangle we have that the base is v and its height is k. For the triangle we have a base of v and and a height of 9, therefore the total area is:

`vk+(1)/(2)v(9)`

Hence the answer is the third option.
