Question

Find the area of the shape shown below.
9.0
3.5
2
5
2.
units

Answer 1

`\boxed{42.5 \: {units}^(2) }`

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape could be divided into a rectangle and a trapezoid ( bottom part )

Let's find the area of the given shape:

Area of the given shape =
`\mathsf{ (l * b) + (1)/(2) (b1 + b2)h}`

plug the values

`\mathsf{ = (3.5 * 9) + (1)/(2) (9 +9 - (5 + 2) * 2}`

`\mathsf{ = (3.5 * 9) + (1)/(2) (9 + 2)(2)}`

`\mathsf{ = 31.5 + (1)/(2) * 11 * 2}`

`\mathsf{ = 31.5 + 11}`

`\mathsf{ = 42.5 \: {units}^(2) }`

Hope I helped!

Best regards!
