so we can separate that figure into 3 triangle and 1 rectangle, apply these formulas to calculate the area of each
area of triangle: 1/2 x base x height
area of rectangle: width x height
-> Area of 2 triangle: (1/2 x 3 x 3)x2 = 4.5 (i multiply by 2 because there 2 triangle that have the same sides)
-> Area of 1 triangle: 1/2 x 8 x 2= 8
-> Area of rectangle: 8x3= 24
====> 4.5 + 8 + 24 = 36.5 cm2
. . .
36.5 cm2 is the area of the figure
please give me brainliest if its correct!
