Find the area of the image below:
I just need a little guidance, this question has got me stumped.
well since its a composite figure you see a triangle and a square and you can use the distance formula to find the lengths of each side or just count them but just to be sure use the distance formula
let me see
I'll just leave it to @Bram
26
i did the square on top by multiplying the rest i counted
Nice try Bram but 26 isn't an option
rlly! ill try again is 25 or 27 an option ?
41 square units 44 square units 52 square units 56 square units
oh i know its 26 + 16 i for got to add the square on top the answer is 42!
split up the object into different shapes
For future problems how do I find the height of the triangle?
16+9+12+4= 41 The answer is 41
Thanks guys
sthe answer is 42 @sbain
the squares on the ahypotenouse is 5
sorry, didn't mean to say yes. She is finding the area.
If you split the image up into different shapes, you have a rectangle and two triangles. By finding the area for each individual shape and then adding up the areas, it equals 41
@Bram
whatever
