I have a few questions about finding the area.
I don't know how to link images on here, so I will just try my best to describe the shapes.
First question: What is the area of the figure below?
It is a parallelogram connected to a triangle. The spotted line and right angle go through the triangle and that measures 6m.
The bottom of the parallelogram measures 10m, and the bottom of the triangle measures 12m.
For this, I just took 12 divided by two-6
and then 6x6
the answers:
a.36 m^2 **
b.60m^2
c.72m^2
d.96m^2
thank you!!
this is old but if anyone comes across this for the areas of parallelograms and triangles quick check the answers are cbad
To find the area of the figure described, you can break it down into two separate shapes: a parallelogram and a triangle.
1. Start by finding the area of the parallelogram. The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula: base x height. In this case, the base of the parallelogram is 10m and the height is 6m. So the area of the parallelogram is 10m x 6m = 60m^2.
2. Next, find the area of the triangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is: 1/2 x base x height. In this case, the base of the triangle is 6m and the height is also 6m, as given. So the area of the triangle is 1/2 x 6m x 6m = 18m^2.
3. Finally, add the areas of the parallelogram and the triangle together to get the total area of the figure. So the total area is 60m^2 + 18m^2 = 78m^2.
Therefore, the correct answer is not among the options you provided. The correct answer should be 78m^2.
