Question

In the figure, the dashed line divides the arrow in half. What is the total area of the arrow?

Answer 1

60 square centimeters
68 square centimeters
80 square centimeters
82 square centimeters

Answer 2

Please help!

Answer 3

Divide the arrow into a rectangle and a triangle

Answer 4

I did, and I did 0.5x8x5 and got 20. Then the area of the other side and it is 68. 68+20= 88 and is not right.

Answer 5

It should be 3 not 5

Answer 6

the area of a triangle is the base x height/2

Answer 7

The base is 8 and the height is 3

Answer 8

Okay I see that, so it would be 48.... but then I must have did the wrong area for the rectangle too?? because it still doesn't give me the answer when added up.

Answer 9

how did you get 48?

Answer 10

(8 x 3)/2

Answer 11
