Question

Find the area of the shape

(shown in image)​

Answer 1

108

Explanation:

If it's a whole rectangle, the are would be 192

The piece that's missing is a right triangle.

The area of the right triangle = 1/2 base x height = (1/2)(7)(24) = 84

A = 192 - 84

A = 108

Answer 2

A = 108 units^2

Explanation:

A = (1/2)(1 + 8)(24)

A = (1/2)(9)(24)

A = (9)(12)

A = 108
