Answer 1

Shape A = 55.68

Shape B = 79.2

Explanation:

`9.6` x
`5.8` = 55.68

Shape b work : 11 x 7.2 = 79.2

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

27.84 m² , 42.48 m²

Explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Shape A

has b = 9.6 and h = 5.8, then

A = 0.5 × 9.6 × 5.8 = 27.84 m²

Shape B

has b = 11.8 and h = 7.2 , then

A = 0.5 × 11.8 × 7.2 = 42.48 m²
