Answer:
60 sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, here we are given two different shapes. One being a rectangle, and the other being a triangle. We are trying to find the area of the two shapes combined and in order to do so here are the steps:
The area of a rectangle is as follows:
[tex]b*h=A[/tex]
The area of a triangle is as follows:
[tex]A= \frac{1}{2} b*h\\or \\A=\frac{b*h}{2}[/tex]
Note: Notice how rectancgles have coensideing sides. Meaning that the opposite side of 9in will be 9 in and the opposite side of 6 in will be 6in.
Now lets solve the problem:
[tex]b*h =A\\6*9=54 sq inches\\A=\frac{1}{2} b*h\\A=\frac{1}{2} 6*2\\A=\frac{1}{2}(12)\\A=6 sq inches\\6+54=60 sq inches[/tex]
I would be happy to help you with any future questions you might have, and I hop this provided some clarification for you. :D
