30 in.

10 in.
10 in.
30 in
20 in
Find the area of the arrow above.
square inches

Answer 1

1100 Inches Squared

Explanation:

Let the triangle on the top right be - (i)

Let the triangle on the top left be - (ii)

Let the bottom rectangle be - (iii)

1) The base of the triangle (i) = 10 + (20/2) (It is the base of the rectangle halfed + the given amount of half base of the triangle)

=> 10 + 10

=> 20 in

Base = 20 in

Height = 30 in

Area = 1/2 * 20 * 30

=> 10 * 30

=> 300 in

Triangle (i) = (ii)

So, the area of triangle (ii)

=> 300 in

Area of rectangle,

Length * Breadth

=> 20 * 30

=> 500 in

Total arrow's area = 300 + 300 + 500 (i + ii + iii)

=> 1100

Therefore the total area of the shape = 1100 in squared.

Hope it helps :)
