What is the area of this figure? 7 in 15 in 19 in 11 in 9 in 12 in 7 in Write your answer using decimals, if necessary, square inches

Answer 1

Question:

Solution:

Area of the vertical square:

A1 = b x h = 19 in x 7 in = 133 in^2

Area of the horizontal square:

A2 = b x h = 11 in x 4 in = 44 in^2

Area of the triangle:

$A3\text{ = }\frac{b\text{ x h }}{2}\text{ = }\frac{11\text{ x 7}}{2}\text{ = }\frac{77}{2}\text{ = 38.5}$
