Area of a Rectangle; A = lw
-------------------------------------
The front view of a house is composed of a triangle and a rectangle.
The picture shows the front view of a house.
What is the area of the front of the house in square feet?
(1 point)
Area =
square feet
To find the area of the front of the house, we need to find the areas of the triangle and rectangle separately and then add them together.
The triangle has a base of 10 feet and a height of 6 feet:
Area of triangle = 1/2 * 10 * 6 = 30 square feet
The rectangle has a length of 10 feet and a width of 8 feet:
Area of rectangle = 10 * 8 = 80 square feet
Adding the areas of the triangle and rectangle together:
Total area = 30 + 80 = 110 square feet
Therefore, the area of the front of the house is 110 square feet.
