Question

Find the area of the figure.

Answer 1

i’m pretty sure the answer is 15. this is because i split the triangle into 2 parts, then i multiplied 5x4 for the first triangle which equals 20, but then u have to divide it by 2 bc the formula for a triangle is A=1/2 (b x h) so then the answer for the first triangle is 10. now you have to do it to the other little triangle which gives u 5. at this point you have to add 10+5 which gives you 15. therefore the answer for this question is 15. i hope this helps!

Answer 2

if i’m not mistaken it should be 55 because if you find the area of the whole triangle and subtract the mini rectangle you should get the shape
