Question

What is the area of the figure below?

Answer 1

This question is a combination of the area of a parallelogram and the area of a triangle.
Area of a parallelogram is Base * Height
Area of a triangle is Base * Height all divided by 2

Answer 2

The figure has two different bases for two different shapes. The base for the parallelogram is 10 m while the base of the triangle is 12 m. However, the heights for both the parallelogram and triangle remain the same: the height is 6 m as it forms a 90 degree angle

Answer 3

Find the areas of both figures separately, and then add the two areas together. You will get the area of the whole figure.

Answer 4

Area of parallelogram = Base * Height
Area of parallelogram = 10 m * 6 m
Area of parallelogram = 60 m^2

Area of triangle = (Base * Height)/ 2
Area of triangle = (12 m * 6 m) / 2
Area of triangle = 72/2
Area of the triangle = 36 m squared

Now add the two area together.
Area of entire figure = (Area of parallelogram) + (Area of triangle)
Area of entire figure = 60 m squared + 36 m squared
Area of entire figure = 96 m squared

Answer 5

Thank you very much...That was a relatively simple question, I don't know why I was confused....I need sleep lol
