Question

Find the area of the figure. (Sides meet at right angles.)

2 ft
2 ft
5 ft
ft
8 ft
Bft
4 ft
8 ft

Answer 1

44 ft²

Explanation:

A1 = 2(5 x 2) = 20

A2 = 8 x 3 = 24

total = 20 + 24

= 44 ft²

Answer 2

44ft

Explanation:

To find the answer, you need to first break down your shape. We can see that the 2 sides are identical so we can just multiply the area of on eof the sides by 2. The 2 sides equal 20 in all. Now lets look at the last section. To find an unknown side, we need to subract the 2 known sides. 8-5=3. 3x8=24

24+20=44

Hope this helps.
