To find the area of the front of the house, we need to find the areas of the triangle and rectangle separately and then add them together.
The triangle has a base of 10 feet and a height of 6 feet:
Area of triangle = 1/2 * 10 * 6 = 30 square feet
The rectangle has a length of 10 feet and a width of 8 feet:
Area of rectangle = 10 * 8 = 80 square feet
Adding the areas of the triangle and rectangle together:
Total area = 30 + 80 = 110 square feet
Therefore, the area of the front of the house is 110 square feet.
Use these formulas to help solve the problem.
Area of a Triangle; A = ½bh
Area of a Rectangle; A = lw
