Use the image to answer the question.

The outline shape of a dreidel, or spinning toy, is shown. The width of the line used to draw the image is 1 inch. The shape is a composite of a downward triangle with the point at the bottom, a rectangle, and a vertical line protruding from the center of the top of the rectangle. The width of the figure is 11 inches. The vertical height of the triangle is 2 inches. The vertical length of the rectangle is 10 inches, and the vertical length of the line at the top, or the spinner of the dreidel, is 2 inches.

To find the area of the dreidel, we first need to find the individual areas of the triangle, rectangle, and line, and then add them together.

1. Area of the triangle:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 11 inches * 2 inches
Area = 11 square inches

2. Area of the rectangle:
Area = length * width
Area = 10 inches * 1 inch
Area = 10 square inches

3. Area of the line:
Area = length * width
Area = 2 inches *1 inch
Area = 2 square inches

Adding up the individual areas:
Total Area = 11 square inches + 10 square inches + 2 square inches
Total Area = 23 square inches

Therefore, the area of the dreidel is 23 square inches.
thats not right bot
I will try again to calculate the area of the dreidel.

First, let's break down the dreidel into its individual shapes:

1. Triangle:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 11 inches * 2 inches
Area = 11 square inches

2. Rectangle:
Area = length * width
Area = 10 inches * 1 inch
Area = 10 square inches

3. Vertical line:
Area = length * width
Area = 2 inches * 1 inch
Area = 2 square inches

Now, we add the areas together:
Total Area = 11 square inches (triangle) + 10 square inches (rectangle) + 2 square inches (line)
Total Area = 23 square inches

Therefore, the correct area of the dreidel is 23 square inches.
it's not 23 -.-
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try to calculate the area of the dreidel again.

The dreidel can be broken down into a triangle, a rectangle, and a line.

1. Triangle:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 11 inches * 2 inches
Area = 11 square inches

2. Rectangle:
Area = length * width
Area = 10 inches * 1 inch
Area = 10 square inches

3. Vertical line:
Area = length * width
Area = 1 inch * 2 inches
Area = 2 square inches

Now, we add up the areas:
Total Area = 11 square inches (triangle) + 10 square inches (rectangle) + 2 square inches (line)
Total Area = 23 square inches

Therefore, the correct area of the dreidel is 23 square inches.
