Question

PLEASE HELP ME I AM SO CONFUSED!

Answer 1

the total area is 1400

Explanation:

The student is wrong. The shape's area can be calculated.

If you divide the shape into 3 separate rectangles horizontally

1st: area = 35 x 10 = 350

2nd area = 10 x 60 = 600

3rd area = (60 - 15) x 10 = 450

the total area is 350 + 600 + 450 = 1400

Answer 2

Answer: The student is wrong because you have to figure out the area of each of the rectangles to find the total area. Add each of the areas to get your answer.
