Find the area of the complex figure.

A figure has 8 sides; all sides meet at right angles. The left-most vertical side measures 31 meters. The lower most horizontal side measures 69 meters. The right-most vertical side measures 31 meters. The upper right horizontal side measures 23 meters. The middle horizontal side measures 23 meters. The upper middle left vertical side measures 12 meters.

Will someone help understand this? Thanks

huh? a rectangle is always just a rectangle.

Surely you can see how adding just two lines inside breaks the figure up into three rectangles!

Just add a couple of internal lines so the figure is divided up into rectangles.

I assume you can find the area of a rectangle...

First you break the complex figure into rectangles, squares, triangles, ect. which are the easiest shapes to find the area of, then add all the areas you have. Btw iā€™m pretty sure the rest is easy enough for you to figure out šŸ¢

I don't in a complex figure.

Write an equation in slope-4/3 intercept form for the line with slope and -intercept 6 .

To find the area of the complex figure, we can break it down into multiple rectangles and triangles and then sum up their areas. Here's how we can approach it:

First, let's identify the different rectangles and triangles in the figure:

1. Rectangle A: It has a width of 31 meters (left-most vertical side) and a height of 69 meters (lower-most horizontal side).
2. Rectangle B: It has a width of 23 meters (upper-right horizontal side) and a height of 31 meters (right-most vertical side).
3. Rectangle C: It has a width of 23 meters (middle horizontal side) and a height of 12 meters (upper-middle left vertical side).
4. Triangle D: It has a base of 12 meters (upper-middle left vertical side) and a height of 23 meters (middle horizontal side).

Now, let's calculate the area of each shape:

1. Area of Rectangle A = width Ɨ height = 31 meters Ɨ 69 meters.
2. Area of Rectangle B = width Ɨ height = 23 meters Ɨ 31 meters.
3. Area of Rectangle C = width Ɨ height = 23 meters Ɨ 12 meters.
4. Area of Triangle D = (base Ɨ height) / 2 = (12 meters Ɨ 23 meters) / 2.

Finally, to find the area of the complex figure, we add up the areas of all the rectangles and triangles:

Area = Area of Rectangle A + Area of Rectangle B + Area of Rectangle C + Area of Triangle D.

After calculating each area, you can simply add them up to get the total area of the complex figure.
