Question

The following shape has 1 pair of parallel sides.
What is the area of the shape?

Answer 1

Answer:

57

Step-by-step explanation:

There's three shapes, 2 triangles and 1 rectangle.

1. To find the area of a rectangle multiply the legth x width, so 5*2, which is 10.

2. To find the area of a traingle multiply the length and width, and then divide that by two. For the smaller triangle do 6*5, which is 30, and divide that by 2 for 15.

3. The big triangle shows the length of one side but not on the other. Because the length of the rectangle is the same on both sides, and the length 3 and 5 are on the same line, the other length of the large triangle is 8.

4. 8*8 is 64, and dividing that by 2 is 32.

5. Add all of the numbers: 10+15+32, which is 57.

Answer 2

The area of a 2D form is the amount of space within its perimeter. The total area of the given figure is 57 inches².

What is an area?

The area of a 2D form is the amount of space within its perimeter. It is measured in square units such as cm², m², and so on. To find the area of a square formula or another quadrilateral, multiply its length by its width.

Let the given figure be divided into three parts. Such that the triangle on the left side or the bigger triangle is represented by A and the triangle on the right side of the smaller triangle is represented by B. The area of the given shape can be written as,

Area of triangle A = 1/2 × Height of triangle A × Base of the triangle A                               = 1/2 × 8 inches × 8 inches

                              = 32 inches²

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

                             = 5 inches × 2 inches

                             = 10 inches²

Area of triangle B = 1/2 × Height of triangle B × Base of the triangle B                                         = 1/2 × 5 inches × 6 inches

                             = 15 inches²

Further, the total area of the shape can be written as,

Total area = 32 inches² + 10 inches² + 15 inches²

                 = 57 inches²

Hence, the total area of the given figure is 57 inches².
