Question

What is the area of the figure?

42.4 square inches
80.2 square inches
92.8 square inches
101.6 square inches

Answer 1

80.2 squnits

Explanation:

Divide the whole picture into two rectangles and find the area of first rectangle and then the second

The area of first one is 10.2 * 3 = 30.6 square inches

then 6.2 * 8 = 49.6 square inches

now 30.6+49.6= 80.2 square inches

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Break the shape into two separate rectangles:

One being the top portion which would be 3 x 10.2 = 30.6 square inches.

The second being the bottom section which would be 6.2 x 8 = 49.6 square inches

Now add the two together for the total:

30.6 + 49.6 = 80.2 square inches.
