Question

Find the area of the figure below, formed from a triangle and a parallelogram.

144 square millimeters
120 square millimeters
72 square millimeters
96 square millimeters

Answer 1

total area =A1+A2+A3

A1=1/2b*h

A1=1/2*8mm*6mm

A1=24mmsquare

A2=1/2b*h

A2=1/2*8mm*6mm

A2=24mmsquare

A3=b*h

A3=8mm*6mm

A3=48mmsquare

Atotal=24mmsquare+24mmsquare+48mmsquare

Atotal=96mmsquare
