Work Out The Area Of This Shape class=

Sagot :

Answer:

75.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the picture is not to scale.

The Area of the bottom (2) rectangle is 33

base x height = A

11 x 3 = 33      (where did I get 3? Total height of shape is 8. Trapezoid is 5)

                      (8-5 = 3)

Area of the trapezoid:

A = [tex]\frac{h (B_{1} + B_{2}) }{2}[/tex]

  =  [tex]\frac{(5)(6 + 11)}{2}[/tex]

  =  [tex]\frac{5(17)}{2}[/tex]

  = [tex]\frac{85}{2}[/tex]

  = 42.5

42.5 + 33 = 75.5
