Find the area of the shape shown below.

this is on khan academy

42 units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Break this into a rectangle and a triangle

The rectangle is 12 by 1

A = l*w = 12*1 =12

The triangle has a base of 6-1 =5  and a height of 12

A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 (5)*12 = 30

Add the areas together

12+30 =42

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide the shape into triangle and a rectangle

then find the Area of the triangle and the rectangle separately

Area of the rectangle

Area of the triangle

Area of the shape

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
