Question

I WILL GIVE YOU A MEDAL AND BECOME A FAN!!! Find the area of this figure

Answer 1

what figure

Answer 2

@thewhovian33 here it is I'm sorry it took me awhile to find it

Answer 3

19550 cm^2

Answer 4

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Answer 5

@NatalieMagadan1998 I got 21,700 cm

Answer 6

I get something different from both of those answers. Look at the figure and break it down to a rectangle that is 110 X 140, and a Triangle with a base of 70 and a height of 90. Add those two areas and you will have the total area.

Answer 7

if you times
110 * 140 = 15,400
90 * 70 = 6,300
15,400
6,300
21,700

Answer 8

The area for the triangle is not 90 * 70

Answer 9

Use the area of triangle formula.

Answer 10

A= B/2 times Height

Answer 11

Agree that the rectangle is 15,400 square cm.

Answer 12

Disagree with area of triangle..........way off!

Answer 13

Is the area of the triangle 35?

Answer 14

It is a right triangle and I use the 70 cm (180 - 110) portion as the base. The height is 90 (140 - 50). Using the formula A = B/2 * H (1/2 base times the height) we will get:
A =35 * 90 = 3,150 sq cm. Now add that value to your rectangle area and you will have the total area of the figure.

Answer 15

What did you come up with as the total area?

Answer 16

Or what is 15,400 + 3,150 ? Remember the units are sq cm.

Answer 17

The key to this problem is resolving the figure into two parts and determining their dimensions, from there it is simple arithmetic.

Answer 18

In my previous post I indicated how I got the 70 and 90
