Question

Help with findings area of irregular shape. WILL FAN AND MEDAL IMMEDIATELY.

Answer 1

You can break the shape apart into a rectangle and a triangle. All you have to do is find the area of both and add them together :)

Answer 2

@TheWaffleMan149 Thanks - but what would the triangle side lengths be (that's my issue)... It's 2, 5, and what?

Answer 3

You have to use the pythagorean theorem to find it

Answer 4

a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 5

@TheWaffleMan149 I am getting 165 in^2 is that right?

Answer 6

For the entire shape, that is.

Answer 7

Ummm one sec

Answer 8

Thank you.

Answer 9

You don't even need the third side of the triangle btw. You just need the base and height

Answer 10

I realized that afterwards. Please let me know if you get the same answer!

Answer 11

Ok. Thats not what i got. I got 4in^2 for the triangle, and 150in^2 for the rectangle. Therefore the whole shape is 154 in^2

Answer 12

Isn't the rectable 16x10 = 160, then the triangle is 1/2(2)x5 = 5 so then 160+5?

Answer 13

rectangle*
