Answer:

69.75 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Please see the attached image.

Let's first find the area of the bottom rectangle. The area of a rectangle is the length times the width.

9*4.5=40.5 in^2

Now let's find the area of the triangle on top. The area of a triangle is the base times the height divided by 2.

9*6.5/2=29.25 in^2

Now add the areas of the two shapes to get the total area of the figure.

40.5+29.25=69.75 in^2

Answer:

69.75 in²

--

First divide the shape into rectangles and triangles.

There is one triangle and one rectangle

Then . .

Solve the area of the bottom rectangle

-formula A = L x W

  • 9 × 4.5 = 40.5 in²

Then . .

Find the area of the triangle on top

-formula

A = 1/2 × b × h

Plug in . .

  • A = 1/2 × 9 × 6.5 =  29.25in²

Finally add the two areas together to get the finale area!

40.5 + 29.25 = 69.75 in²
