Question

Find the area of the figure.

Answer 1

92ft^2

Explanation:

you have to find the are of the triangle and subtract it from the area of the rectangle.

area of the triangle is 28ft^2

area of the rectangle is 120ft^2

120-28 = 92

Answer 2

64 + 28 = 92

Explanation:

Split the figure in half creating two triangles and a square.

length and width for the square would be 8ft and 8ft. Multiply both for 64 to be the area.

7ft and 4ft are the height and base for the triangles.

In this case, just multiple 7 and 4 because normally you would need to divide the product by 2 however since there are two triangles it negates the step.
