Question

a figures made of a rectangle and an isosceles right triangle the rectangle triangle has sides of 6 inches and 3 inches one of the short sides of the rectangle is also one of the legs of the right triangle what is the total area of the figure​

Answer 1

The total area of the figure is
`22.5\ in^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of the rectangle plus the area of the isosceles right triangle

Find the area of rectangle

`A=(6)(3)=18\ in^(2)`

Find the area of the isosceles right triangle

`A=(1)/(2)(3)(3)=4.5\ in^(2)`

Find the total area of the figure

`18\ in^(2)+4.5\ in^(2)=22.5\ in^(2)`
