Answer:
210
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
Split this up. Find the area of the rectangle first. To find the area of the rectangle, you need to multiply the L x W
So...
L x W
18 x 10
Area: 180
Now, you need to find the area of the two right triangles. For the first one, to find the area, it's 1/2bh.
So...
We know that 24 - 18 will give us the length of the right triangle. We get... 6 ft.
So...
1/2 (6) (5)
We get 15.
Since both right triangles are the exact same, the other right triangle will also equal 15ft.
Now, add all of the shapes.
15 + 15 + 180 = 210
Your total area is 210.
I hope this helps :)
