anonymous · Answer

I'm not sure I understand the question. What has a height of 10 in and a base of 12 in?

taylor · Answer

a square

anonymous · Answer

The area of the triangle taken out is 1/2 bh so the area of the triangle is 1/2 (4)(6) = 12 square inches.

taylor · Answer

i need the area of both shapes sorry...

anonymous · Answer

Squares would have to have all the sides be the same. If it's a rectangle than it would have an area of base times height so it would be 120 square inches.

anonymous · Answer

If you take the area of the triangle out of the area of the rectangle you would get 120 - 12 or just 108 square inches.
