Find the area of the figure show steps

Hello!

You can separate the image into two shapes, a trapezoid and a parallelogram

To find the area of a trapezoid you use the equation



a is base 1
b is base 2
h is height

Put in the values you know



Add



Divide

9.5 * 4 = 38

Next you find the area of the parallelogram

To find the you use the equation

bh

b is base
h is height

Put in the values you know

11 * 8.2 = 90.2

Add the two areas together to get the area of the whole shape

90.2 + 38 = 128.2

The answer is 128.2

Hope this helps!

(-3/8)(+8/15)

Answer will be a negative number. Whenever multiplying a - negative number * a + positive = - negative number.

(-3/8)(+8/15)

Cross out -3 and 15 . Divide by 3. -3/3,=-1 15/3

= -1/5

Cross out 8 and 8. Divide by 8.

8/8= 1 , 8/8= 1
