Question

find the area.
area of □ =
area of △ =
remember: a = b
area of figure =

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate area of rectangle

Area of rectangle formula \(A = b\times h\). Here \(b = 6\) in, \(h=5\) in.
\(A_{rectangle}=6\times5 = 30\) \(in^{2}\)

Step2: Calculate area of triangle

Area of triangle formula \(A=\frac{1}{2}\times b\times h\). Here \(b = 4\) in, \(h=(5 - 3)=2\) in.
\(A_{triangle}=\frac{1}{2}\times4\times2=4\) \(in^{2}\)

Step3: Calculate total area

Total area \(A = A_{rectangle}+A_{triangle}\)
\(A=30 + 4=34\) \(in^{2}\)

Answer:

Area of \(□ = 30\) \(in^{2}\), Area of \(△=4\) \(in^{2}\), Area of Figure \(=34\) \(in^{2}\)
