Answer 1

Area of the shape is 20 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The longest length = missing side + 1ft + 1ft

The longest length = 8, let missing side = x

8 = x + 1 + 1

8 = x + 2

8 - 2 = x

x = 6

Part B:

Area of the shape = Sum of Areas of two rectangle

Area of the top rectangle = 2ft (6 ft) = 12t²

Area of the bottom rectangle = 8(1) = 8ft²

The area of the shape = Area of the top rectangle + Area of the bottom rectangle

The area of the shape = 12ft + 8 ft

Area of the shape is 20 ft²
