Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  34.5 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to find the area of the shaded region. (The actual question is not visible here.)

The area of the triangle (including the rectangle) is given by the formula ...

  A = 1/2bh

The figure shows the base of the triangle is 11 m, and the height is 1+5+3 = 9 m. So, the triangle area is ...

  A = (1/2)(11 m)(9 m) = 49.5 m^2

The rectangle area is the product of its length and width:

  A = LW

The figure shows the rectangle is 5 m high and 3 m wide, so its area is ...

  A = (5 m)(3 m) = 15 m^2

The shaded area is the difference between the triangle area and the rectangle area:

  shaded area = 49.5 m^2 - 15 m^2 = 34.5 m^2

The shaded region has an area of 34.5 square meters.
