Question

The following shape has 1 pair of parallel sides. What is the area of the shape?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Area of triangle on L = 1/2 b * h = 1/2 * 8 * 8 = 32 units^2

Area of triangle on R = 1/2 b*h = 1/2 * 6 *5 = 15 uits^2

Area of rectangle in between = width x height = 2x 5 = 10 units^2

Total area = 32 +15 +10 = 57 units^2
