Question

Find the area of this irregular shape hint area of a triangle a = bh÷2

Answer 1

• The area of the irregular shape is 62 feet

Step-by-step explanation :

We are given with two shapes triangle and a rectangle.

From the above diagram

We can see that Breadth of the rectangle is 5 ft and length of 10 ft.

As we know that area of Rectangle is length × Breadth

Area(rectangle) = l × b

Area (rectangle) = 10 × 5

Area (rectangle) = 50 ft².

Now,

• Area (triangle) = bh ÷ 2

where

• b is base (10 - 6 = 4 ft)
• h = Height (11 - 5 =6 ft)

Area (triangle) = 4 × 6 ÷ 2

Area (triangle) = 24 ÷ 2

Area (triangle) = 12 ft².

Total area = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle

Total area = 50 + 12

Total area = 62 feet

Therefore, The area of the irregular shape is 62 feet.
