What’s the area of the figure below?

482.5 ft^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure can be regarded as a rectangle with a triangle cut out of one corner.

The base of the triangle = 25-20 = 5 in and the height = 20 - 13 = 7 in.

The required area = area of rectangle - area of triangle

= 25*20 - 1/2 * 5 * 7

= 500 - 17.5

= 482.5 ft^2

9514 1404 393

  482.5 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure can be considered to be a 25 in by 20 in rectangle with a 5 in by 7 in triangle cut off the corner. Then the area of the figure is the area of the rectangle, less the area of the triangle.

  A = LW - 1/2bh

  = (25 in)(20 in) - 1/2(5 in)(7 in) = 500 in² -35/2 in² = 482 1/2 in²

The area of the figure is 482.5 square inches.
