Answer
Area of the arrow = 610 square centimeters
Explanation
The area of this irregular figure will be obtained by breaking it down into the two regular figures that make up the whole thing.
We can see that the figure consists of a triangle lying on top of a rectangle.
So, the area of the figure will be the sum of the triangle and the rectangle.
Area of a triangle = ½ × Base × Height
Base = 8 + 15 + 8 = 31 cm
Height = 20 cm
Area of this triangle = ½ × Base × Height
Area of this triangle = ½ × 31 × 20 = 310 cm²
Area of a rectangle = Length × Width
Length = 20 cm
Width = 15 cm
Area of this rectangle = Length × Width
Area of this rectangle = 20 × 15 = 300 cm²
Area of this irregular figure = (Area of the triangle) + (Area of the rectangle)
Area of the triangle = 310 square centimeters
Area of the rectangle = 300 square centimeters
Area of this irregular figure = (Area of the triangle) + (Area of the rectangle)
Area of this irregular figure = 310 + 300 = 610 square centimeters
Hope this Helps!!!
