Question

What do you do for this question

Answer 1

= 197.5
`cm^(2)`

Explanation:

1) first split the shape into two shapes (a rectangle and trapezium)

2. find the area of the rectangle

10 x 6 = 60
`cm^(2)`

3. find the missing sides for the trapezium and substitute it into the formula for finding the area of trapezium

(
`(a+b)/(2)`)xh

a=10

b= 15

h = 11 (17-6=11)

(
`(10+5)/(2)`)x 11

this gives you 137.5
`cm^(2)`

4. add both the areas together

60
`cm^(2)` + 137.5
`cm^(2)` = 197.5
`cm^(2)`

5 so your final answer is 197.5
`cm^(2)`
