Answer 4

You can do this 2 ways.
1. Calculate the area of each triangle and add them together.

\(A = \dfrac{bh}{2} \)

\(A = \dfrac{6 \times 8}{2} + \dfrac{10 \times 8}{2} = 24 + 40 = 64 in.^2\)

Answer 5

yep the answer will be 64

Answer 6

2. Calculate the area of the big triangle.

\(A = \dfrac {bh}{2} = \dfrac{(6 + 10)8}{2} = \dfrac{16 \times 8}{2} = 64 ~in.^2\)\)

Answer 7

Ok thank you
