The area of the figure is the sum of all the areas when it is broken down.

abdullahm · Answer

So add up the area of the three triangles, and that will give us the area of the figure!

briannabug · Answer

ok I meant 30 not 90 and I got it by doing 1/2 times 4 times 15=30

abdullahm · Answer

I'm curious, where did you get the numbers 4 and 15 from?

briannabug · Answer

sorry wrong 1let me post the right 1

abdullahm · Answer

I've told you before:

The figure was broken into three pieces.

They gave you the sum of each of the three pieces.

The area of the figure can be found by adding the area of each of those three pieces.

Yes, that's correct. They had to break up the figure in the lesson because it had an extra square and a triangle, besides the rectangle.
