find the area of the figure below A. 42 m2 B. 45 m2 C. 60 m2 d. 75 m2

1 answer

To find the area of the figure, we need to break it down into recognizable shapes. In this case, it can be divided into a rectangle and a triangle.

The rectangle has a width of 5m and a height of 7m, so its area is 5m x 7m = 35m^2.

The triangle has a base of 5m and a height of 5m, so its area is 0.5 x base x height = 0.5 x 5m x 5m = 12.5m^2.

Therefore, the total area of the figure is 35m^2 (rectangle) + 12.5m^2 (triangle) = 47.5m^2.

None of the given answers match the calculated area, but the closest option is B. 45 m2.
