Question

Calculate the area of this figure below​

Answer 1

Answer:
`96ft^2`

Explanation:

We have a composite figure. We have a rectangle and a triangle. Calculate each of these figures' areas individually and add them together.

Rectangle:

length=10ft

width=8ft

`Formula:A=l*w\\A=(10ft)(8ft)\\A=80ft^2`

----------------------------------------------------------

Triangle:

base: 4ft

height: 8ft

`A=(hb)/(2)`

`A=((8ft)(4ft))/(2)`

`A=(32ft^2)/(2)`

`A=16ft^2`

-------------------------------------------------------------

Add them:

`80ft^2+16ft^2=96ft^2`
