Question 2 options:

748

374

78

1496

Answer 1

It's 78 when you round it to nearest 10

Answer 2

748 mm^2.

Explanation:

We can split it up into 2 congruent triangles whose common base is 44 mm. and who have the same height 17 mm.

Area of a triangle= 1/2 * base * height.

So the area of the whole figure = 2 * 1/2 * 44 * 17.

= 44 *17

= 748 mm^2.
