You want to find the area of the front of a house, whose shape is a triangle on top of a rectangle with a width of 7. The triangle's height is 9 and the rectangle's height is 5. What is the total area of the front of the house? Do not include square units in your answer. 



Respuesta :

The area of the house is 66.5 square units

How to determine the area?

The given parameters are:

Triangle:

Height = 9

Base = 7

Rectangle:

Height = 5

Width = 7

The area of the house is then calculated as:

Area = Triangle Area + Rectangle Area

This gives

Area = 0.5 * 9 * 7 + 5 * 7

Evaluate the product

Area = 31.5 + 35

Evaluate the sum

Area = 66.5

Hence, the area of the house is 66.5 square units
