60 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the drawing of the sailboat is of 2 triangles (the sails) and 1 rectangle (the boat).
The idea is, to sum up the area of these shapes, to get the area of the sailboat:
Formulas:
. Triangle : height * base
Triangle 1: 6 cm * 2 cm = 12 cm^2
Triangle 2: 6 cm * 3 cm = 18 cm^2
. Rectangle: height * width
2.5 cm * 12 cm = 30 cm ^2
Solution:
The area of the sailboat = 12 + 18 + 30 = 60 cm^2
