Question

What is the area of the figure below 13 in length, 11 in width, 29 in and 13 in?

Answer 1

B. 533in²

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the area of the rectangle

A = lw

A = (29)13

A = 377

Step 2: Find the leg of the triangle

13 + 11 = 24

Step 3: Find the area of the triangle

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(24)(13)

A = 12(13)

A = 156

Step 3: Add the areas of the 2 figures together

377 + 156 = 533
