Question

Can anyone help me out with number one?

Answer 1

B) 232

Explanation:

Do 14 x 8 to find the top and bottom triangle. 112. Then do 12 x 6 to find the left and right triangle. 72. The find the area of the rectangle 6 x 8 = 48. Add up all the answers. 112 + 72 + 48 = 232 is the answer.

Answer 2

`232 cm^(2)` (B.)

Explanation:

Don't overwhelm yourself. Take a deep breath and look at the triangle that has the height of 14 cm.

Recall that the area of a triangle is A= 1/2bh

The base of the triangle is 8 cm, if you eyeball it with the square. The height is given as 14.

1/2 (14)(8)

= 56 cm^2 x 2

= 112 cm^2

Great! We found two of the triangles (there are two of these, look at the paper)

Now let's take a look at the second triangle with the height of 12 cm.

Eyeball the base, which is 6 cm from the square in the middle.

1/2 (6)(12)

= 36 x 2

= 72 cm^2 (there are two of these triangles)

The easy part comes. The area of a square is simply

A= bh

= (6)(8)

= 48 cm^2.

ADD 'EM UP

48 + 72 + 112

= 232 cm^2
