Question

Find the Area of the shaded region. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

210ft²

Explanation:

Step one, find the area of the square. --->

A= bh (Area equals base times the height)

15×12=180

Step two, find the area of the triangle.

A=bh÷2 (Area equals base times the height divided by 2)

4×15= 60÷2= 30

Step three, add the solutions together

180+30=210

Answer 2

210 ft^2

Explanation:

The figure is made up of a rectangle 15 ft by 12 ft and a triangle with base 15 ft and height 4 ft.

A = LW + BH/2

A = (15 ft)(12 ft) + (15 ft)(4 ft)/2

A = 180 ft^2 + 30 ft^2

A = 210 ft^2
