Question

Please help and explain how u got your answer :)

Answer 1

Fins the area of the square, find the area of the triangle, then add those two areas together.

Square Area= a^2
=(4)^2
=16 yards squared

Triangle Area= 1/2 base * height
add 4 yards + 4 yards to equal whole side of triangle
=1/2 (6)(4+4)
=1/2(6)(8)
=1/2(48)
=24 yards squared

Add the area of the square and the area of the triangle together.
=16 + 24
=40 yards squared

ANSWER: 40 yards squared (second choice)

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

square=base times height
square=area of 16
triangle=base times height divided by 2
triangle=24/2
triangle =12
28yd^2
