Example Question #1 :Geometry

What is the area of the figure below?

10

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of the figure above, we need to slip the figure into two rectangles.

10.5

Using our area formula,, we can solve for the area of both of our rectangles

To find our final answer, we need to add the areas together.
