What is the area of this figure?3 km8 km5 km22 km14 km3 km4 km

Answer 1

To calculate the area of this figure, we need to divide it in 3 different figures:

For the second rectangle, we have a base of:

Then, for the triangle:

`\begin{gathered} A_(triangle)=\frac{\text{base}\cdot\text{height}}{2} \\ A_(triangle)=(5\cdot4)/(2)=(20)/(2)=10m^2 \end{gathered}`

Now, since we have the area of all the figures inside, we can add up all of them and get the total area:

`\begin{gathered} A_(total)=24+112+10 \\ A_(total)=146m^2 \end{gathered}`
