Question

Find the area of the shape below

Answer 1

I think the answer is 32.!

Explanation:

Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I would divide the 12 into 3 to get 4 for the 3 parts.

I will start with the triangle on the left 4 times 4=16. Divide it 1/2, which you get 8.

On the triangle on the right is the same, so 8.

The middle is 4 times 4=16.

Last 8+8+16=32.

I think the answer is 32 units.!

Answer 2

32 units^2

Explanation:

This is a trapezoid

The area of a trapezoid is found by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2) h

A = 1/2 ( 4+12) *4

A = 1/2 (16) *4

A =32
