Question

A drawing of a sailboat was made using a rectangle and two right triangles, as shown.

What is the area of the drawing of the sailboat in square centimeters?

Answer 1

45 square centimeters

Explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area pf a rectangle plus the area of two right triangles

so

`A=(12)(2.5)+(1)/(2)(2)(6) +(1)/(2)(3)(6)`

`A=30+6+9=45\ cm^2`
