1.
First, divide the figure into 3 different figures.
Find the area of each figure, and then add them:
A1 is a rectangle:
Area of a rectangle: Lenght x width
A1 = 8 x 5.3 = 42.4 in2
A2 is also a rectangle:
Lenght = 4
width = 8 - 5.3 = 2.7
A2 = 4 x 2.7 = 10.8 in2
A3 is a triangle:
Area of a triangle = (base x height) / 2
base = 2.7
Height = 8-4 = 4
A3= ( 2.7 x 4 ) / 2 = 5.4 in2
Total area = A1 + A2 + A3 = 42.4 + 10.8 + 5.4 = 58.6 in2
Answer = 58.6 in2
