Question

what is the area of the figure below

Answer 1

Answer:

47 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can split the shape into smaller pieces to make it easier to digest.

4*8 is 32 which is the top rectangle.

9-4=5 since you are trying to figure out the second rectangle, not the whole side length.

5*3=15

15+32=47

Answer 2

Answer:

47

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the big part at the top, 8x4 = 32. That leaves the bottom part.

9-4 = 5, so the height of the leftover side is 5.

5x3 = 15

15+32 = 47
