Question

Can someone please help me answer this question?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Triangle area

A=h_b*b/2

=8.5*10/2

=42.5in^2

Rectangle area

A=lw

=9*10

=90

Add all together

42.5+90

=132.5in^2

Answer 2

132.5 inches

Explanation:

The area of a triangle is 1/2 base height. the area of a rectangle is base height. Applying those principles gives us two equations: 8.5 x 10 / 2, and 9 x 10

then we have 42.5 and 90. in order to find the entire figure, they must be added so 42.5 plus 90 is 132.5. make sure to add the unit!
