Question

Find the area of the figure shown in the image.

You don't need to show your work, but steps would be appreciated.

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf 8100\ m\²}`

Explanation:

The figure is made up of two shapes:

• Rectangle
• Triangle

Area of Rectangle:

= length × width

Where length = 150 m, width = 20 m

= 150 × 20

= 3000 m²

Area of triangle:

= 1/2(base × height)

Where base = 170 m, height = 60 m

So,

= 1/2(170 × 60)

= 170 × 30

= 5100 m²

Area of figure:

= Area of rectangle + area of triangle

= 3000 + 5100

= 8100 m²

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
