An illustration shows rectangle extending to a triangle on the right. The top of the rectangle extends as the hypotenuse toward the bottom. The dimensions of the figure are as follows: the top is 8 centimeters, the left is 4 centimeters, and the bottom is 10 centimeters, including the side of the extended triangle.

What is the area of the figure in square centimeters?(1 point)
cm2

Answer 1

The figure can be divided into two parts: a rectangle and a right triangle.

Area of rectangle = length x width
Area of rectangle = 10 cm x 4 cm
Area of rectangle = 40 cm²

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Area of triangle = 1/2 x 6 cm x 4 cm
Area of triangle = 12 cm²

Total area of figure = area of rectangle + area of triangle
Total area = 40 cm² + 12 cm²
Total area = 52 cm²

Therefore, the area of the figure is 52 square centimeters.

Answer 2

cm 2 squared

Answer 3

Sorry for the confusion. The area of the figure is indeed 52 square centimeters, which can also be written as 52 cm². So, the correct answer is 52 cm².
