Question

What is the area of the figure below?

A.41.5 square feet
B.45.5 square feet
C.67.5 square feet
D.69.5 square feet

Answer 1

D. 69.5 square feet

Explanation:

Area of the figure = area of the triangle + area of the rectangle

= ½*b*h + L*W

Where,

b = 5 ft

h = 13 - 6 = 7 ft

L = 13 ft

W = 4 ft

Plug in the values

Area = ½*5*7 + 13*4

Area = 17.5 + 52

Area = 69.5 ft²
