Question

A figure is made up of two triangles and a square. The triangles and the square have the same base length of 5 feet. The triangles have a height of 4 feet. What is the total area of the figure?

Answer 1

45 ft^2.

Explanation:

Area = area of the square + 2 * area of one triangle

= 5^2 + 2 * 1/2 * 5 * 4

= 25 + 20

= 45 fT^2.
