Answer:

b. 869.6 ft²

Explanation:

The figure is composed of an equilateral triangle and a trapezoid

Therefore,

Area of the figure = area of the triangle + area of the trapezoid

✔️Area of triangle = ½*a*b*Sin C

Where

a = 22 ft

b = 22 ft

C = 60° (mall angles of an equilateral triangle measures 60°)

Area = ½*22*22*Sin 60°

Area = 209.58 ft²

✔️Area of trapezoid = ½(a + b)h

a = 22 ft

b = 38 ft

h = 22 ft

Area = ½(22 + 38)22

Area = ½(60)22

Area = 960 ft²

✔️Area of the figure = 209.58 + 660 = 869.58 ≈ 869.6 ft²
