Question

Just wondering how I would get the area of the middle part, I have both the triangles and one square down, I just can’t get the middle one.

Answer 1

The total area = Area of a right angle triangle + rectangle

The area of triangle = 1/2 x b x h

base = 11

Height = 8

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x 8 x 11

Area = 8 x 11 / 2

Area = 88/2

Area = 44 square inches

For the first rectangle

Area = Length x width

Length = 11 inches and width = 9 inches

Area = 11 x 9

Area = 99 square inches
