What is the area of the figure made up of a parallelogram and a right triangle? HELP ME

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First you must solve for your parallelogram. Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the area of a parallelogram, you take your base times your height.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this case, that would be 12*6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you need to find the area of your triangle

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

no not really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the area of a right triangle, multiply the legs and then divide by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this case, that would be (7.6*10.5)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, you need to solve for (7.6*10.5)/2 and 12*6. Then add your answers together

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

okay the answer is 399 but for 12x6 is 72

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you add 39.9 and 72, then you will have the area of the entire figure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does that make sense?

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

yes is 111.9 is the answer ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the answer that I came up with

ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

YES :)
