Find the area of the complex figure.

Question

A figure has 8 sides; all sides meet at right angles. The left-most vertical side measures 31 meters. The lower most horizontal side measures 69 meters. The right-most vertical side measures 31 meters. The upper right horizontal side measures 23 meters. The middle horizontal side measures 23 meters. The upper middle left vertical side measures 12 meters.

Will someone help understand this? Thanks

Answer 1

Just add a couple of internal lines so the figure is divided up into rectangles.
I assume you can find the area of a rectangle...

Answer 2

I don't in a complex figure.

Answer 3

huh? a rectangle is always just a rectangle.
Surely you can see how adding just two lines inside breaks the figure up into three rectangles!

Answer 4

Write an equation in slope-4/3 intercept form for the line with slope and -intercept 6 .

Answer 5

First you break the complex figure into rectangles, squares, triangles, ect. which are the easiest shapes to find the area of, then add all the areas you have. Btw i’m pretty sure the rest is easy enough for you to figure out 🍢
