Answer 1

To calculate the area of the shape below, we need to find the area of the rectangle and subtract the area of the triangle.

Rectangle:
Length = 10 inches
Width = 4 inches
Area = Length x Width = 10 x 4 = 40 square inches

Triangle:
Base = 8 inches
Height = 3 inches
Area = 1/2 x Base x Height = 1/2 x 8 x 3 = 12 square inches

Total area = Area of Rectangle - Area of Triangle
Total area = 40 square inches - 12 square inches = 28 square inches

Therefore, the area of the shape below is 28 square inches.

WRONGGGG

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's recalculate the area of the shape below.

The shape consists of a rectangular region and a triangular region.

Rectangle:
Length = 10 inches
Width = 4 inches
Area = Length x Width = 10 x 4 = 40 square inches

Triangle:
Base = 6 inches (10 - 4)
Height = 4 inches
Area = 1/2 x Base x Height = 1/2 x 6 x 4 = 12 square inches

Total area = Area of Rectangle + Area of Triangle
Total area = 40 square inches + 12 square inches = 52 square inches

Therefore, the correct area of the shape below is 52 square inches. Thank you for pointing out the error.
