What is the Area of a Rectangle and a Triangle?

• Area of a rectangle = (l)(w)
• Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

a. l = 4 units

w = 4 units

Area of the rectangle = (4)(4) = 16 units²

b. b = 3 units

h = 4 units

Area of the triangle on the left = 1/2(3)(4) = 6 units²

c. b = 5 units

h = 4 units

Area of the triangle on the right = 1/2(5)(4) = 10 units²

d. Area of the figure = 16 + 6 + 10 = 32 units²
