Question

If X = 2 centimeters, Y = 4 centimeters, and Z = 6 centimeters, what is the area of the object?

Answer 1

24 Centimeters

Explanation:

what you want to do is split it up, make two triangles (the sides), and one big square. The square has the dimensions 4 by 4 which has the area of 16. The two triangles have the dimensions 2 by 4, which would be 4 and because there are two, the triangles equal 8. 16+8=24

Hope this helps. :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

the shape is a trpizoid with height y

A=(a+b)/2 *h (a=2x=4cm, h=y=4cm, b=2z=12 cm

A=(4+12)/2 * 4

Area=16/2 *4=8*4= 32 cm²
