Question

Please help. What is the area of the shape:

Answer 1

Either 150 or 80.

Explanation:

You would do hight x base which is 150 if you do 7 + 8 x 10 and it's 80 if you do 10 x 8. If it's not squared then you don't have to divide by 2.

Answer 2

Calculate the area as a full rectangle and subtract the triangle corner that is cut off.

10 x 15 = 150 square feet

1/2 x 7 x 7 = 24.5 square feet

Area = 150 - 24.5 = 125.5 square feet

answer: 125.5 square feet
