Question

What is the area of the figure? Triangle with a height of two feet with a rectangle attached to the base. Rectangle width is six feet and height is five feet. ft2

Answer 1

Calculate them separately and add them together.
The formula for the area of a triangle is
`a= (1)/(2)b*h`

`(1)/(2) (6ft)*2ft=6ft^2` is the area of the triangle.
The area of a rectangle is
`a=b*h`

`5ft*6ft=30ft^2` is the area of the rectangle.

`30ft^2+6ft^2=36ft^2` is the total area.
