Question

Find The Area Of The Shape Shown Below

Answer 1

A=32

Explanation:

The following shape is a trapezoid

area formula:

A=
`(1)/(2) h (b_(1) +b_(2) )`

`b_(1) =12\\b_(2)=4 \\h=4`

A=
`(1)/(2) h (b_(1) +b_(2) )`

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

A=
`(1)/(2)`(4)(16)

A=
`(1)/(2)`(4)(16)

A=
`(1)/(2)`(64)

A=32

I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT:)

Answer 2

32

Explanation:

I proceeded to divide the shape up into 2 triangle and 1 square. The added sum of the 2 divided triangles is 16 and the square is 16. Add those to to get 32.

The following shape is a trapezoid

area formula:

A=

A=

A= (4)(12+4)

A= (4)(16)

A= (4)(16)

A= (64)

A=32
