Question

Help oh my god give me the area of this shape I’m gonna cry

Answer 1

96

Explanation:

2 x 8 =16

8 x 7 = 56

3 x 8 = 24

24 + 56 = 80

80 + 16 = 96

Answer 2

Hi!

The area of the entire figure is 76 units squared.

NOTE: This question has two different shapes: a rectangle, and a triangle.

Rectangle Formula:

Length * Width = Area

`LW=A`

Triangle Formula

(Base * Height) / 2 = Area

`\cfrac{bh}{2}=A`

Let's first get the rectangle's area:

`LW=A`

`8*7=A`

`56=A`

The area of the rectangle is 56.

Now, for the top triangle:

`\cfrac{bh}{2} =A`

`\cfrac{8*2}{2} =A`

`8=A`

The area of the top triangle is 8.

Now, for the bottom triangle.

`\cfrac{bh}{2} =A`

`\cfrac{8*3}{2} =A`

`12=A`

The area of the bottom triangle is 12.

Now, add them all together:

`56+8+12=76`
