Answer:
A - 40
B - 15
C - 5
Total area - 60
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of each individual shape:
- A is a rectangle with sides 8 and 5 (We know this because the long side is 10, and the dotted line only goes to 5, meaning the other part must also be 5). The area is the 2 sides multiplied, equaling 40
- B is a triangle with sides 6 and 5 (mirrored from the other triangle). Since the area of a triangle is the 2 sides multiplied, then divided by 2, we multiply to get 30, then divide by 2 to get and area of 15
- C is also a triangle, this time with sides 2 and 5. The triangle's area can be found by multiplying its 2 sides, then dividing by 2, which gives us an area of 5 for this triangle
- The area of the entire figure is simply every shape added together, which is 40 + 15 + 5, equaling 60.
(Note that if there were units for this figure, the final answer must have its units squared, as this is the standard of measurement for 2D values)
