Question

what is the area of the given figure in square centimeters? 15 3/4 21 3/8 27 39 3/8

Answer 1

Answer: 21.375 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle  = length x width = 3.5 x 4.4 = 15.75 cm2

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 2.5 x 4.5 = 5.625 cm2

Add rectangle and triangle area = 21.375 cm2

Answer 2

Answer:

21 /3/8 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = area of rectangle + area of the triangle

= 3 1/2 * 4 1/2 + 1/2 * 4 1/2 * 2 1/2

=  7/2 * 9/2 + 1/2 * 9/2 * 5/2

= 63/4 + 45/8

=  126/8 + 45/8

=  171/8

= 21 /3/8 cm^2.
