Question

GUYS PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Answer:

17 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break this figure into two smaller and easier figures:

The top figure (which has side lengths of 3 and 5), and the bottom figure (with sides of 1 and 2.)

Let's find the area of the top figure first. The width is 4 and the length is 5 so:

$3\cdot5=15$ in².

The bottom figure has a length of 2 and a width of 1. So:

$2\cdot1=2$ in².

Now we add these two:

$15+2=17$ in².

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

17 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We cut the shape in to two bits to make it easier.

5 x 3 = 15 inches

2 x 1 = 2 inches

Now we add these together:

17 square inches.

I know I answered wrong in my first attempt but now I understand the question.

Hope this helps :D
