Answer:


\Huge\boxed{Area=565.5m^2}

Explanation:

Hello there!

To solve for the area we want to split the irregular figure into two regular figures

A triangle with a base of 29 m and a height of 19m and

A rectangle with a width of 10 m and a length of 29 m

now we solve for the area of each individual shape

For the triangle:

The formula for area of a triangle is


A=(1)/(2) bh where b = base and h = height

we know what the dimensions are so all we have to do is plug in the values


A=(1)/(2) 19*29\\19*29=551\\(551)/(2) =275.5\\A=275.5

so we can conclude that the area of the triangle part is 275.5 m²

Now lets find the area of the rectangle

to find the area of a rectangle we just multiply the length and width

so A = 10 x 29

10 x 29 = 290

so the area of the rectangle is 290 m²

Finally we add the two areas together

290 + 275.5 = 565.5

so we can conclude that the area of the irregular figure is 565.5 m²

I think the area is 290 because area = l x w so that will be 29 x 10 which is 290
