What is the area of the figure?

Enter your answer in the box.

400
in²

should be 112 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

10cm*10cm+(1/2(4*6)

112

Step-by-step explanation:

To make this easier we can pull apart the two know shapes which is the square and triangle

the formula to find the area square is length x width

so 10 x 10=100 this is the area of the triangle

the picture doesn't show the measurements of the triangle but we can still find it

16 in goes from the top of the triangle to the bottom of the square and we know the right side of the square is 10 in so to find the length of the left side of the triangle we can subtract 10 from 16 which is 6.

now we need to find the bottom part of the triangle we can see that it measures 6 in to the right of the triangle and we know that the side of the square is 10 in so all we do is subtract 6 from 10 and you get 4

the formula to find the area of a triangle is height x base divided by 2

so 6 x 4 divided by 2 is 12

now we know the area of the triangle and square is 12 and 100 so we add these together to get 112

answer: 177/8
