Answer 1

Rectangle's area;

Length: 4

Width: 5

Formula for area of rectangle;

A = L*W

Replace values:-

A = 4(5)

A = 20.

Left triangle's area;

Base = 4

Height: 4

Formula for area of triangle;

A = BH x 1/2

Replace values:-

A = 4(4) x 1/2

A = 16 x 1/2

A = 16/2

A = 8.

Right triangle's area;

Base = 3

Height: 4

Formula for area of triangle:

A = BH x 1/2

Replace values:-

A = 3(4) x 1/2

A = 12 x 1/2

A = 12/2

A = 6.

Add all the areas we've found so far to get the figure's total area:

20 + 8 + 6

= 34.

Answer 2

Area of the rectangle = 20 square units

Area of left triangle = 8 square units

Area of right triangle = 6 square units

Area of whole figure = 34 square units

Explanation:

Alright, area of a rectangle is Base · Height. The base of the rectangle is 5 units and the height is 4 units. 5 · 4 = 20 square units.

Area of a triangle is (Base · Height)/2. The triangle on the left is 4 units tall and 4 units wide. 4 · 4 ÷ 2 = 8 square units.

The triangle on the right is 4 units tall and 3 units wide. 4 · 3 ÷ 2 = 6 square units.

To get the area of the whole figure, you can just add the area of all three shapes. 20 + 8 + 6 = 34 square units.

Hope this helps! :)
